@drewdevault TIL about Nagle’s algorithm.

To contextualize further reading into the algorithm: What fundamental do you think there is a clash with here?

Isn't the problem that there is a conflict between Nagel's algorithm and delayed ACK?

Or maybe can you elaborate on your thought there? Like is there an obvious solution that people generally miss? Genuinely curious, I'm not a systems programming expert at all.
