29 /* This module computes an average of a set of values within a time
30  * window.
31  *
32  * Algorithm:
33  *
34  * - Create two windows with a certain expiration period, and
35  *   offsetted by period / 2.
36  * - Each time you want to account a new value, do it in both windows.
37  * - The minimum / maximum / average values are always returned from
38  *   the oldest window.
39  *
40  * Example:
41  *
42  *        t=0          |t=0.5           |t=1          |t=1.5            |t=2
43  *        wnd0: [0,0.5)|wnd0: [0.5,1.5) |             |wnd0: [1.5,2.5)  |
44  *        wnd1: [0,1)  |                |wnd1: [1,2)  |                 |
45  *
46  * Values are returned from:
47  *
48  *        wnd0---------|wnd1------------|wnd0---------|wnd1-------------|
