Maybe not. I did not study TCP in that detail, but older protocols       would send a number of blocks, say 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 and start receiving       the ACKs after number 3. The receiver says OK to number 1, fail number       2, Ok number 3... so after a while, out of sequence, the sender repeats       number 2, just after sending number 6.              --       Cheers, Carlos.       ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
