the send buffer and is counted against the association as outstanding data. This causes any new data not to be sent and retransmission to not happen. The fix is to discount the abandoned data from the outstanding count and peers rwnd estimation. This allows new data to be sent and a retransmission timer restarted. Even though this new data will most likely expire within the rto, the timer still counts as a strike against the transport and forces the FORWARD-TSN chunk to be retransmitted as well.
