It looks highly irregular to me. I don't see why BB isn't RSTing each packet, and AA looks to be retransmitting way too quickly. > In any event, though, it seems to me relatively harmless to have AA > accept seqnums "slightly" to the left of its current advertised window > (say last_ack_sent - rcv_wnd).

With window sizes increasing as they are, that could become a significant issue as time goes on. How about one MSS worth of window or something similar?
