 TCP option 5, Selective Acknowledgment
SACK is a strategy which corrects this behavior in the face of multiple dropped segments.
The SACK option is to be sent by a data receiver to inform the data sender of non-contiguous blocks of data that have been received and queued.
This extension to the SACK option allows the TCP sender to infer the order of packets received at the receiver, allowing the sender to infer when it has unnecessarily retransmitted a packet.

 [No title]
Sack Option Format The SACK option is to be used to convey extended acknowledgment information from the receiver to the sender over an established TCP connection.
The SACK option is advisory, in that, while it notifies the data sender that the data receiver has received the indicated segments, the data receiver is permitted to later discard data which have been reported in a SACK option.
After the SACKed bit is turned on (as the result of processing a received SACK option), the data sender will skip that segment during any later retransmission.

While the TCP selective acknowledgment (SACK) option Expires: April 2003 [Page 1] draft-allman-tcp-sack-13.txt October 2002 [RFC2018] is being steadily deployed in the Internet [All00] there is evidence that hosts are not using the SACK information when making retransmission and congestion control decisions [PF01].
Note: SACK information is advisory and therefore SACKed data MUST NOT be removed from TCP's retransmission buffer until the data is cumulatively acknowledged [RFC2018].
When an ACK or SACK arrives covering this retransmitted segment, the sender cannot be sure exactly how much data left the network (one of the two transmissions of the packet or both transmissions of the packet).

 RFC 2883 (rfc2883) - An Extension to the Selective Acknowledgement (SACK)
Introduction The Selective Acknowledgement (SACK) option defined in RFC 2018 is used by the TCP data receiver to acknowledge non-contiguous blocks of data not covered by the Cumulative Acknowledgement field.
Use of the SACK option for reporting a duplicate segment This section specifies the use of SACK blocks when the SACK option is used in reporting a duplicate segment.
If the SACK sequence space is less than this cumulative ACK, it is an indication that the segment identified by the SACK block has been received more than once by the receiver.

 RFC 2018 (rfc2018) - TCP Selective Acknowledgement Options   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The SACK option is to be included in a segment sent from a TCP that is receiving data to the TCP that is sending that data; we will refer to these TCP's as the data receiver and the data sender, respectively.
+--------+--------+--------+--------+ The SACK option is to be sent by a data receiver to inform the data sender of non-contiguous blocks of data that have been received and queued.
It is very important that the SACK option always reports the block containing the most recently received segment, because this provides the sender with the most up-to-date information about the state of the network and the data receiver's queue.

 TCP Selective Acknowledgment Options (SACK)
The SACK option is to be used to convey extended acknowledgment information from the receiver to the sender over an established TCP connection.
The first SACK block (i.e., the one immediately following the kind and length fields in the option) MUST specify the contiguous block of data containing the segment which triggered this ACK, unless that segment advanced the Acknowledgment Number field in the header.
The SACK option SHOULD be filled out by repeating the most recently reported SACK blocks (based on first SACK blocks in previous SACK options) that are not subsets of a SACK block already included in the SACK option being constructed.

I knew that the sack became an official statistic in ’82, but I wondered aloud why his rookie year was not grandfathered into the record books.
Taylor’s success in 1981 and the monster year of the Jets’ "New York Sack Exchange" created enough buzz that former Jets official Jim Kensil, who was then on the NFL statistics committee, pushed through the requirement that Elias count sacks as official.

 TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACK) and Forward Acknowledgment (FACK)
TCP SACK is a protocol enhancement defined in RFC2018 which allows receivers to specify precisely which segments have been received, even in the presence of packet loss.
The addition of SACK to the receiver doesn't change this behavior, except that some of the discarded packets may already have been SACKed.
Since SACK (by itself) doesn't change the congestion control behavior of TCP, a timeout can occur if more than half of the data packets or acks are lost.
