Encoding of blocksize in ACK frames. #679
Comments
That's how I read it, yes -- as "additional" packets. Otherwise zero would be a nonsensical value. |
I had the same reading of this as both of you. However, if we want to allow a larger gap, then having zero length on subsequent ACK blocks might have some utility and consistency with that is perhaps desirable. |
Understood it this way, too, but had to re-read the sentence a few times. Suggest to add @huitema's example to the draft? |
Does Gap = 0 ever make sense? I do not think so.
Option 2 has a few special cases in it: (a) If "ACK Block Length" is 64 bit, |
I think this is closed by #877 |
The text that describe the encoding of block lengths in the ACK frames is a bit too smart for my test. It reads:
If I look at it with attention, I understand it to mean "the number of continuous packet being acknowledged, not counting the Largest Acknowledged."
Is this correct? Does highest=5, length=2 means "Acknowledging packets 5, 4 and 3", not just "5 and 4"? If yes, some more direct language would be nice.
