> > > Once we have used 8 bits length, we can only send 127 packets in flight and wait for response, though the congestion control and stream control allows us to send more than 127 packets and we have more packets to be sent, we can not send one packet more until received ACK. Changing bits length from 8 to 16 at this moment does not resolve this issue.

If you want, I can explain why "ACK the wrong packet number" will cause the related stream hang
