Is this Apple's reimplementation of the ACK avoidance heuristics in OSX
they used to have in previous versions of MacOS with the Mentat TCP/IP
stack?
FWIW, HP-UX and Solaris also have ACK avoidance heursistics - they have
a Mentat history - although both should be pretty good and neither
should hold-off ACKs for two seconds...
