 * The order of the option processing is crucial for optimal packing and
 * alignment for the scarce option space.
 *
 * The optimal order for a SYN/SYN-ACK segment is:
 *   MSS (4) + NOP (1) + Window scale (3) + SACK permitted (2) +
 *   Timestamp (10) + Signature (18) = 38 bytes out of a maximum of 40.
 *
 * The SACK options should be last.  SACK blocks consume 8*n+2 bytes.
 * So a full size SACK blocks option is 34 bytes (with 4 SACK blocks).
 * At minimum we need 10 bytes (to generate 1 SACK block).  If both
 * TCP Timestamps (12 bytes) and TCP Signatures (18 bytes) are present,
 * we only have 10 bytes for SACK options (40 - (12 + 18)).
