Description of changes:
Currently, when we send probes the ACK manager will only transmit an ACK frame when it is in Active or Passive mode. This is suboptimal as we miss out on transmitting an ACK, which would allow the peer to recover more quickly from its own loss.
This change, instead looks at the transmission mode and, if it's a probe, will bundle an ACK frame with the packet. In testing, this showed to improve connection resiliency.
Testing:
I've updated the ACK transmission state tests with a snapshot of all of the possible inputs and outputs for
should_transmit
. This should prevent a regression in this change.By submitting this pull request, I confirm that my contribution is made under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license.
