* NOTES:
* 1. If there is a data payload or other flags to be sent with the
* outgoing packet, then we may as well include the ACK too.
* 2. The RFC refers to full-size segments. It is not clear what
* "full-size" means. Does that mean that the payload is the size
* of the MSS? Payload size is not considered other there being
* a payload or or not. Should there be some special action for
* small payloads of size < MSS?
* 3. Experimentation shows that Windows and Linux behave somewhat
* differently; they delay the ACKs for many more segments (6 or
* more). Delaying for more segments would provide less network
* traffic and better performance but seems non-compliant.
