/**
 * \brief Defines the TCP option of kind 5 (selective acknowledgment option) as
 * in \RFC{2018}
 *
 * TCP SACK Option is used by a receiver to report non-contiguous blocks of data
 * that have been received and queued in the receiving buffer. Using the
 * information conveyed in SACK option sender retransmits only the segments that
 * have actually been lost, allowing the recovery of multiple packet losses per
 * sending window.
 *
 * Each SACK block is defined by two 32-bit unsigned integers specifying the
 * left and the right edge of the block. It means that with the 40-byte TCP
 * option limitation in addition to the presence of TCP Timestamp Option, the
 * maximum number of SACK blocks that can be appended to each segment is 3.
