Acknowledgment timeout

[buholzer]

I understand that _acks is keeping track of acknowledgement's and that they are removed from _acks as soon as an acknowledgement successfully comes back from the server in the onData method.

• What happens when acknowledgement's aren't sent back from the server, due to communication errors or busy server?
• Will they stay forever in the _acks dictionary?
• Should a timed method clean up old acknowledgements based on a timeout and inform the user about it?
• Should we be able to set the timeout per connection or per message?

Suggestions welcome!
