Where 6298 fits
Why 6298 is special
Getting this wrong makes a connection either give up too early or hang for a minute, and the algorithm is a smoothed estimate with a variance term.

Related numbers & connections
The retransmission timer decides how long a sender waits before assuming loss, and getting it wrong breaks a connection either way.
The retransmission timer and the congestion window are the two mechanisms deciding how a sender responds to loss.
