In order to make SACK easier to digest, perhaps it should be suggested that SACK be implemented in stages: 1. Internal structures are updated to handle SACK, and the stack handles the receive side of SACK properly. (The stack advertises itself as SACK capable, of course.) 2. The transmit side of SACK is implemented. >From what I recall about SACK, the implementation of part 1 would be straightforward to verify and therefore easy to integrate. The send side would, of course, require more attention, and it would be more likely to get it if it could be reviewed seperately.
