the attacker must be able to know the current sequence number of a sender and reply ACKs with a sequence number a little more than that, or the ACKs are ignored.
Exactly.
That is, the attacker should send ACKs slowly enough not to exceed the sequence number currently used by the sender.
Right, but that is not very slowly. Indeed, it may induce a faster data rate from the sender than the receiver is able to receive. --Pekka Nikander
