Description 
Suppose the following sequence happens.

1. App sends a small message X.
2. X is lost.
3. App sends another small message Y.  But Y is not sent out because
of Nagle algorithm.
4. Retransmission timer fires and X is retransmitted.

Although the above retransmitted packet can bundle Y together, SCTP does
not do that currently.
