This changeset contains a few tightly intermingled and additive bugfixes from Netflix and LLNW:
- rrs - Lets make the LRO code look for true dup-acks and window update acks fly on through and combine.
- rrs - Make the LRO engine a bit more aware of ack-only seq space. Lets not have it incorrectly wipe out newer acks for older acks when we have out-of-order acks (common in wifi environments).
- jeggleston - LRO eating window updates
Based on all of the above I think we are RFC compliant doing it this way:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1122
section 4.2.2.16
"Note that TCP has a heuristic to select the latest window update despite possible datagram reordering; as a result, it may ignore a window update with a smaller window than previously offered if neither the sequence number nor the acknowledgment number is increased."
