since we can not select unconfirmed transports for retransmission,
this part is not correct. the specification forbids this due to security
issues.
Not sure whether you hit this bug: remove transport and left only
one unconfirmed transport, it may cause oops while retransmit.
I will send other patch to fix it first.
