Send an ACK frame with the current txack value in response to every received reliable frame unless a TX reliable frame is being sent. This modification allows re-transmitted frames from the remote peer to be acknowledged rather than ignored. It means that the remote peer knows which frame number to start re-transmitting from. Without this modification, the recovery time to a missing frame from the remote peer was unnecessarily being extended because the headers of the out of order reliable frames were being discarded rather than being processed. The frame headers of received frames will indicate whether the local peer's transmissions have been acknowledged by the remote peer. Therefore, the local peer may unnecessarily re-transmit despite the remote peer already indicating that the frame had been acknowledged in out of order reliable frame.
