Because there are no sequence numbers, there is no way to be sure an ACK was received.
The current implementation routinely sends a large amount of duplicate ACKs.
Duplicate ACKs should not be taken as an indication of congestion.

ACK Bitfield notes:
The receiver of a data packet does not know how many fragments are in the message unless it has
received the last fragment. Therefore, the number of bitfield bytes sent in response may be less or
more than the number of fragments divided by 7.
For example, if the highest fragment the receiver has seen is number 4, only
one byte is required to be sent, even if there may be 13 fragments total.
Up to 10 bytes (i.e. (64 / 7) + 1) may be included for each message ID acked.
