From tcpdump at client side:

I do not understand the reason for the second ack from C->S (Time
38s.719ms). Clearly this ack has not delayed for 200ms from the previous
ack and acks only 1 packet. Am I missing something?

Thanks a ton,

My crystal ball tells me that packet four has the PUSH flag set on it,
which means that it will be immediately ACKed and sent to the application.

Please post tcpdump output in the future, the batteries on my crystal ball
are running low.
