Here's what happens for each frame:

1: OK, acked
2: OK, acked
4: this is out-of-order, ignored (vnak could be sent, but it doesn't really matter)
5: same as 4.
3: This is OK, and gets acked.

...

If that is so,then how do frames 4 & 5 ever get acked ?


They would be retransmitted, because they are not acked the first time they're sent, and eventually, the retransmits would be acked.

Ok, got it.
This would imply that _all_ frames received subsequently would be ignored, until frame #4 re-arrives, and resets the sequence ?

I have noticed that iaxclint goes into a "retry frenzy" if hammered with too many full frames (text) too quickly, over a lossy (wireless) link. Ethereal reports blocks of packets being retried, despite being recieved ok.
