What's the meaning of Nginx variables of "$tcpinfo_rtt, $tcpinfo_rttvar, $tcpinfo_snd_cwnd, $tcpinfo_rcv_space" (3 replies)

Hi, all:
I want to get the network latency between the users and my Nginx servers
on tcp layer. I searched about this and found several Nginx variables
bellow:

$tcpinfo_rtt, $tcpinfo_rttvar, $tcpinfo_snd_cwnd, $tcpinfo_rcv_space
information about the client TCP connection; available on systems that
support the TCP_INFO socket option


So does anybody can make an explanation for those variables?
I think *$tcpinfo_rtt* probably means the round trip time from the client
to the server on tcp layer.
and what about the rttvar, snd_cwnd and rcv_space?

Thanks!
