From: Sean Edmond <seanedmond at microsoft.com>

In rfc7440, if an ACK is not received by the server or if the
last data block in a window is dropped, the server will timeout and
retransmit the window.  In this case, the block count received will be
less than the internal block count.  In this case, the client
should not ACK.  ACK should only be sent if the received block
count is greater than the expected block count.
