Since 4 proposals is not enough, let me propose the 5th one, which is an extension of Subodh's proposal.


  1.  PADDING does NOT count for bytes-in-flight (and does not require ACKs) when it is a part of ACK+PADDING packets.
  2.  PADDING does count for bytes-in-flight and does require ACKs otherwise (including in PADDING-only packets).
  3.  The difference between PADDING and PING in non-(ACK+PADDING) packets is that PING requires an ACK to be sent ASAP, while ACKing PADDING can be delayed, if the receiver does some ACK coalescing.
