From 66804a1e21978713902da654ec890574efe25e7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2015 08:16:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 181/261] tcp: ack when we get an OOO/lost packet While adding tcp window scaling support I was finding that I'd get some packet loss or reordering when transferring from large distances and grub would just timeout. This is because we weren't ack'ing when we got our OOO packet, so the sender didn't know it needed to retransmit anything, so eventually it would fill the window and stop transmitting, and we'd time out. Fix this by ACK'ing when we don't find our next sequence numbered packet. With this fix I no longer time out.
