We do care about the replays even when we do not care about reorder,
so setting reorder window to 0 is not acceptable, as that would
effectively also set the replay window to 0, and this

I assume 1GE, means 1Gbit/s speed, i.e., with 1400 byte packets that
means about 100k packets per second, and with 1000 packet replay
window (which would be appropriate with that fast link), that means
each packet drop adds 1/100 s = 10ms delay until the reorder window
clears.

Anyways I think this should be mentioned in the draft, even if you do
not want to allow sending packets out as they come in, but delay and
buffer each packet until window clears.
