	 <t>   TCP Delayed Acknowledgments (ACKs) allow reducing protocol overhead
   in many scenarios.  However, in some cases, Delayed ACKs may
   significantly degrade network and device performance in terms of link
   utilization, latency, memory usage and/or energy consumption.  This
   document presents the problem statement regarding sender control of
   Delayed ACKs in TCP.  The document discusses the scenarios and use
   cases in which sender control of Delayed ACKs offers advantages.
   Then, requirements for a potential solution are derived.  Finally, a
   number of potential solutions are discussed, based on the
   requirements, and also considering pros and cons in each case.
