28.2.2 Delayed-ACK TCP Sink

A delayed-ACK sink object (Agent/Agent/TCPSink/DelAck) is available for simulating a TCP receiver that ACKs less than once per packet received. This object contains a bound variable interval_ which gives the number of seconds to wait between ACKs. The delayed ACK sink implements an agressive ACK policy whereby only ACKs for in-order packets are delayed. Out-of-order packets cause immediate ACK generation.
