4.2.4.3 Flush Call
Some TCP implementations have included a FLUSH call, which
will empty the TCP send queue of any data for which the user
has issued SEND calls but which is still to the right of the
current send window. That is, it flushes as much queued
send data as possible without losing sequence number
synchronization. This is useful for implementing the "abort
output" function of Telnet.
