Subject: [PATCH 3/8] [DCCP]: Add FIXME for send_delayed_ack
Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 18:39:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070926183947.GE10932@ghostprotocols.net> (raw)

This adds a FIXME to signal that the function dccp_send_delayed_ack is nowhere
used in the entire DCCP/CCID code.

Using a delayed Ack timer is suggested in 11.3 of RFC 4340, but it has also
rather subtle implications for the Ack-Ratio-accounting.

CCID2 does not use this (maybe it should).

I think leaving the function in is good, in case someone wants to implement
this.
