the data to be sent has been ACKed. the data to be sent has been ACKed.
There are probably also more reasons than just ACKs that concurrent
sends cannot be performed. So this probably applies to all protocols.
For example, the tcp_conn_s structure is designed to held in a list.
It begins with:
struct tcp_conn_s
{
dq_entry_t node; /* Implements a doubly linked list */
...
When the TCP socket has to wait for anything, the tcp_conn_s struct is
put into a list. If you try to put the same tcp_conn_s structure into
a list twice, the list will be corrupted and the network will fail.
I have not verified this, but I assume that the issue goes away if
TCP write buffering is enabled. In that case, the data is serialized
in the write buffers and all issues associated with ACKs and any
other concurrent access issues should be eliminated.
