[lwip-devel] [bug #20506] HTTP server doesn't call tcp_output

[Kieran Mansley]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #20506 (project lwip):

Splitting into two is a dirty hack and shouldn't even be tried.  It won't
work with many stacks (who count bytes rather than packets for the delayed
ack algorithm) so at best is just making your end less efficient.

If the other side does have a large window then turning off nagle might stand
more chance of working, but this really is just the way that TCP is supposed
to work.  It slowly increases the bandwidth each round trip by increasing the
number of packets it can have in flight, but it starts off very conservatively
incase the network is already loaded.

I'll leave this open for now in case there turns out to be a real problem,
but as I understand it and as reported at the moment this is not a bug.
