Agree.

Now server have several task:

1. retransmit his response and (optional) FIN
2. let the peer that something went wrong.

I am don't see ideal answer to this.

Send RST now may be don't allow to be sure about acknowledged server data. Not
sure. Need some tests: retransmit data, retransmit FIN, send RST+ACK,
SEQ=FIN.SEQ+1, see reaction from remote: got ACK to data? got ack to FIN?

In any cases retransmit is mandatory, by RFC. Some tricks to discard client
data may be used here (zero window? silent discard and only SEQ/ACK analize?
ACk and discard? send RST+ACK (as you see, RST w/o ACK ignored by client) after
client acknowledged server data?
