// Setting SHOOT_FIRST to non-zero means that an ACK request
// will be used to advance the acking "watermark" point
// with each message fully written to the transmit stream.
// The alternative "ack later" behavior waits to send a new
// ACK request until any pending flow control ACK requeset
// has completed.  This latter approach favors throughput
// over timeliness of message delivery.  I.e., lower data
// rate applications that are concerned with low-latency message
// delivery can potentially benefit from the "shoot first" 
// behavior while very high throughput applications that want
// to "keep the pipe full as possible" can benefit from the
// "ack later" behavior.  The difference between these behaviors,
// since ACK requests are cued for all messages when flow
// control is _not_ pending, is somewhat subtle and developers
// may want to assess both behaviors for their application.  
// Additionally, limiting ACK request to flow control only is
// another possible approach as well as dynamically updating
// something like the "tx_stream_buffer_count" with each 
// message ACK request initiated could be possible.  The caution
// with the SHOOT_FIRST type strategies and high throughput is
// the application may end up "chasing" the ACK request until
// flow control buffer limits are reached and end up with 
// "dead air" time.  There are always tradeoffs!
