  42  * @{
  43  *
  44  * The basic uIP TCP implementation only allows each TCP connection to
  45  * have a single TCP segment in flight at any given time. Because of
  46  * the delayed ACK algorithm employed by most TCP receivers, uIP's
  47  * limit on the amount of in-flight TCP segments seriously reduces the
  48  * maximum achievable throughput for sending data from uIP.
  49  *
  50  * The uip-split module is a hack which tries to remedy this
  51  * situation. By splitting maximum sized outgoing TCP segments into
  52  * two, the delayed ACK algorithm is not invoked at TCP
  53  * receivers. This improves the throughput when sending data from uIP
  54  * by orders of magnitude.
  55  *
  56  * The uip-split module uses the uip-fw module (uIP IP packet
  57  * forwarding) for sending packets. Therefore, the uip-fw module must
  58  * be set up with the appropriate network interfaces for this module
  59  * to work.
