Enables and disables the Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) feature of Windows Server 2003 TCP/IP. SACK is specified in RFC 2018, TCP Selective Acknowledgement Options.
SACK is an optimizing feature that lets you acknowledge receipt of individual blocks of data in a continuous sequence, rather than just the last sequence number. The recipient can tell the sender that one or more data blocks are missing from the middle of a sequence, and the sender can retransmit only the missing data.
