In the current implementation of segmented messages transmission, the
transport layer will put as many segments as it can into the advertiser
buffer. If a long segmented message is transmitted, there is a chance
that an ack will be received before the transport layer finishes sending
the first batch of segments. This will trigger retransmissions of those
segments that are marked as missing in the ack, that are also the
segments that are scheduled (or about to be scheduled), but not sent
out by the advertiser yet. Thus, the receiver may receive already
received segments.
This commit changes 2 things:
- it prevents rescheduling transmission of missing segments upon
reception of ack. Thus, ack doesn't cause segments duplication in the
advertiser buffer;
- it doesn't put all segments to the advertiser buffer. Thus, ack that
acknowledges all segments can immediately stop rescheduling segments as
they are already received;
