I'd argue that ACK+PING isn't a hack, but instead a simple way for the sender, whose state we're trying to limit, to balance the amount of state it stores vs the extra ACKs being received. Getting the peer to implement the correct ACK behavior by sending a single extra byte is much simpler and more robust in my experience than relying on the receiver to implement an "ACK every 10/20/etc ACKs" policy in a way that every sender is happy with. This could likely use more text and there's still an outstanding editorial issue to move most of the ACK sending text that's in recovery into transport, so it's all in one place, since I believe there are currently a few subtle inconsistencies. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
