         <li>Removed the direct ACK on every other data segment. After  
                 receiving a data segment, we were sending out two ACKs, the first one  
                 in tcp_input() direct after receiving and the second ACK after the  
                 userland or the sosplice task read some data out of the socket buffer.  
                 This change removes the ACK in tcp_input(), saving processing time and  
                 improving network performance.  
         <li>Removed the maxburst feature from tcp_output().          <li>Removed the maxburst feature from tcp_output().
                   Sending out TCP segments was limited to 4 packets per burst.
                   This did not scale well on high bandwith, high latency links.
                   Especially when the receiving side delays ACK packets
                   aggressively, the maxburst limitation could seriously reduce
                   TCP throughput per connection.
