Description
From http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6298
3. Taking RTT Samples TCP MUST use Karn's algorithm [KP87] for taking RTT samples. That is, RTT samples MUST NOT be made using segments that were retransmitted (and thus for which it is ambiguous whether the reply was for the first instance of the packet or a later instance).
One possible implementation: http://pastethis.i2p/show/4606/

Digging through the mtn history, the original behavior was the correct one, but revision 007b01bea8c493cdad998838fc093ec9517145e8 (2004, jrandom) changed it.
