Is there any good reason to allow large gaps in packet sequences? The optimistic ACK attack could be handled by other means that will not complicate received packet handling. If the maximum packets in flight is limited in range, it is simpler to implement filtering of duplicate packets without DoS concerns, for example using a sliding bitmap. It also simplifies resource allocation for ack management and timestamps. There can be gaps from lost packets, but these count against packets in flight.
