The retransmission timeout (RTO) value is updated on every measured
RTT and is a function of the RTT value and its stability. In reality,
the RTT is never constant - it fluctuates, which makes the RTO become
much larger than the RTT. But for extremely stable RTTs, which we get
in simulations, the RTO value can become the same as the RTT, and that
makes expiration timers be scheduled to the RTT value, and will race
with packets that are expected to stop the expiration timer. And that
race should be avoided in simulations.
So ensuring that the RTO value is always greater, if only be a single
millisecond, will work fine in these simulations.
