Hello,
I had experiments with FreeBSD SACK implementation.
FreeBSD SACK retransmits multiple segments respond to single dupack.
It breaks "packet conservation principle".
In OpenBSD SACK implementation,
retransmission from SACK hole is limited to single segment.
"sack_rxmit" and "sendalot" are exclusive.
I think solution is introducing mechanism to estimate amount of outstanding
segments.
For example, "pipe" alogorithm is well known.
