    Can you sketch this in a bit more detail? I do not follow. PR-SCTP is
    about being allowed to "abandon" data --- i.e., send it and then decide
    that you don't really care if it gets across the network (say, because
    it got lost and has taken too long to retransmit and so the data is out
    of date). Without a Big Hack, I cannot envision TCP doing something
    like this. What am I missing?

    Thanks,
