Modified Files: src/sys/netinet: tcp_output.c Log Message: Apply Revision 220794 from FreeBSD to avoid dup ACKs: When checking to see if a window update should be sent to the remote peer, don't force a window update if the window would not actually grow due to window scaling. Specifically, if the window scaling factor is larger than 2 * MSS, then after the local reader has drained 2 * MSS bytes from the socket, a window update can end up advertising the same window. If this happens, the supposed window update actually ends up being a duplicate ACK. This can result in an excessive number of duplicate ACKs when using a higher maximum socket buffer size.
