rtt vs. rcv_rtt

From: Robert Engels <hidden>

When using 'ss', both rtt, and rcv_rtt are reported.

My understanding is that rcv_rtt is an estimate of the receivers rtt
?? Is this true?

My assumption is that differences in rtt vs. rcv_rtt would be due to
asymmetric networking connections ???

Here is a sample 'ss' output:

cubic wscale:2,9 rto:437 rtt:101.625/84 ato:40 cwnd:10 ssthresh:15
send 991.9Kbps rcv_rtt:18291 rcv_space:151142

Can someone explain why the rcv_rtt would be so much higher than the rtt?

Is it that the client is not reading the data fast enough? Other reasons?

Thanks so much for your help.
