+
+// The tickler sends a regular 0 byte UDP heartbeat out to a
+// particular address for a short time after it has been touched. This
+// is used on some mobile wifi chipsets to mitigate Power Save Polling
+// (PSP) Mode when we are anticipating a response packet
+// soon. Typically PSP adds 100ms of latency to a read event because
+// the packet delivery is not triggered until the 802.11 beacon is
+// delivered to the host (100ms is the standard Access Point
+// configuration for the beacon interval.) Requesting a frequent
+// transmission and getting a CTS frame from the AP at least that
+// frequently allows for low latency receives when we have reason to
+// expect them (e.g a SYN-ACK).
+//
+// The tickler is used to allow RTT based phases of web transport to
+// complete quickly when on wifi - ARP, DNS, TCP handshake, SSL
+// handshake, HTTP headers, and the TCP slow start phase. The
+// transaction is given up to 400 miliseconds by default to get
+// through those phases before the tickler is disabled.
+//
+// The tickler only applies to wifi on mobile right now. Hopefully it
+// can also be restricted to particular handset models in the future.
