I think this is what Carsten was referring to.

My point was: Is this already deployed?

The reason I'm asking is that I have heard several time that the semantic of the
PSH bit is to send out an ACK immediately. I could not find the source of this
statement...

Best regards

Delayed ACKs are a SHOULD in RFC 1122 and the exact logic is not specified. Thus, taking the PSH flag into account inside a receiver-side delayed ACK heuristic may not even be a change of the TCP semantics…
