80 * Estimate rto for an nfs rpc sent via. an unreliable datagram.
81 * Use the mean and mean deviation of rtt for the appropriate type of rpc
82 * for the frequent rpcs and a default for the others.
83 * The justification for doing "other" this way is that these rpcs
84 * happen so infrequently that timer est. would probably be stale.
85 * Also, since many of these rpcs are
86 * non-idempotent, a conservative timeout is desired.
