  //     reflects the most recent change in the data receiver's buffer
  //     queue.
  //
  // (b) The data receiver SHOULD include as many distinct SACK blocks as
  //     possible in the SACK option.  Note that the maximum available
  //     option space may not be sufficient to report all blocks present in
  //     the receiver's queue.
  //
  // (c) The SACK option SHOULD be filled out by repeating the most
  //     recently reported SACK blocks (based on first SACK blocks in
  //     previous SACK options) that are not subsets of a SACK block
  //     already included in the SACK option being constructed.  This

  //     non-contiguous block of data held by the data receiver is reported
  //     in at least three successive SACK options, even for large-window
