Rodrick, These links may help you out , http://bit.ly/f088F3 (Link to a book explaining the C code) http://bit.ly/dJBicQ (C code of the implementation ). From some reading around it looks like what's occurring is when your rcv buffer starts running low, it looks for packets in the buffer with continuous sequence numbers that it can merge their data payloads together into one packet and free up some room on the buffer. Hope this helps or at least allows you to draw a better conclusion then I did.
