Parca n-am inteles intrebarile chiar asa ... dar s-ar putea sa gresesc. 
Oricum:

1. Este split horizon, nu "spliting[sic]" horizon ... si daca apare asa in 
carte, atunci evident este gresit ... apropos - cele mai bune explicatii in 
domeniul interconectiilor le gasesti avind-o ca autor pe Radia Perlman - 
uita-te pe tot ce a scris cucoana (cea care a inventat spanning tree 
protocol, ca si IS-IS si algoritmii folositi de routing protocols)

2. Eu am inteles "free ride" din intrebare ca: "freee ride on the back of an 
ACK" - si asta este ceeea ce mentionasem in primul raspuns la thread-ul asta, 
si anume ca intotdeauna se asteapta ca un timer sa expire (200 ms pentru 
Linux, parca), inainte ca un ACK "singurel" sa fie trimis, tocmai pentru a 
oferi sansa de "piggybacking" - nu imi amintesc exact ce RFC numbers contin 
specificatia, dar fie o vizita la http://www.faqs/org, fie o lectura a 
oricarui material precum:

http://www.mnlab.cs.depaul.edu/~ehab/Courses/TDC562/PDF/8-TCP-errorflow.pdf

at trebui sa lamureasca toate problemele enuntate pina acum.
