tcp.cc ?  That's not a kernel file.

In -CURRENT, and I would suspect most recent versions of FreeBSD, the
only variables I find are t_srtt and t_rttvar which are used as fixed
point values.  srtt and rttvar were variables used in the older (BSD
4.4?) code.  I believe they were documented in Steven's TCP/IP
Illustrated Volume 2 but I don't have my copy here so I can't check.
