This would solve lots of problems. > but that might have other problems. BSD used to do this, everyone is happy. It could disclose some new problems in our stack, because we have quite a lot of code to mitigate problems caused by ACK each 2*MSS. But they should not be essential. Actually, we could have it adjustable: normally each 2 frames, but apply efforts to coarsen ACKs up to 2*MSS, when lots of small frames are ACKed back to back. > There is an assymetry between how we do congestion control on > sending (packet counting) and our ACK policy on receive (packet > sized based). It is curious fact: BSD has exactly opposite assymetry. ACK are sent each second packet, but congestion avoidance is made by size. :-) > turn it off by default. Yes.
