:Definitely.  SACK is a realm unto itself.  And to overload tcp(4) with it

    Urrm.  The SACK implementation is specific to the protocol.  The
    options should be left in tcp(4).  If someone wants to write a separate,
    more complete manual page just on SACK, then a sack(4) manual page is
    fine.  But basic documentation for the options belongs in tcp(4).
