Subject: rtt vs. rcv_rtt ?

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.
