> This is scenario #6 in UNICAST.new.txt
> #4 A closes the connection unilaterally (B keeps it open), then reopens it and sends a message:
> - A removes the entry for B from its connection table, cancelling all pending retransmissions
> - (Assuming that B's entry.recv_win for A is at #25)
> - A creates a new entry for B in its connection table
> - Entry.send-conn-id is set and sent with the message
> - Entry.seqno now is 1
> - B receives the message with a new conn-id
> - B does have an entry for A, but entry.recv-conn-id doesn't match msg.conn-id
> - B creates a new entry.recv_win, sets it to msg.seqno
> - B sets entry.recv-conn-id to msg.conn-id
> #6 Same as #4, but after re-establishing the connection to B, A loses the first message
> (first part of #4)
> - A creates a new sender window for B
> - A sends #1(conn-id=322649) #2(conn-id=0) #3(conn-id=0), but loses #1
> - B receives #2 first. It thinks this is part of a regular connection, so it doesn't trash its receiver window
> - B expects a seqno higher than #2 (from the prev conversation with A), and discards #2, but *acks* it nevertheless
> - A removes #2 from its sender window
> - B now finally receives #1, and creates a new receiver window for A at #1
> - A retransmits #3
> - B stores #3 but doesn't deliver it because it hasn't received #2 yet
> - However, B will *never* receive #2 from A because that seqno has been removed from A's sender window !
