[lwip-devel] [patch #9384] Partial SACK (RFC 2018) support

[Joel Cunningham]

Follow-up Comment #17, patch #9384 (project lwip):

>But this just changes the way SACKs are stored in PCBs, and doesn't solve the
main problem, 
>which at the moment seems to be inserting SACKs into data packets. 

Correct, I didn't mean for my idea to address that issue

>One solution could be to calculate SACKs dynamically by examining the ooseq
list

I also thought of this, but didn't suggest it because it seemed like we could
be repeating this computation a lot if sending ACKs when OOSEQ/SACK blocks
were not changing. Definitely a trade off of using memory to cache the result
versus doing more CPU calculations. I'll have to defer to Simon for which is
more lightweight
