+    accepted it and the moment both ends were closed, without idle time.
+    This is useful to roughly measure end-to-end time as a user would see it,

 These timers provide precious indications on trouble causes. Since the TCP
 protocol defines retransmit delays of 3, 6, 12... seconds, we know for sure
 that timers close to multiples of 3s are nearly always related to lost packets
