TCP Window Scaling

In this lesson, we'll discuss TCP window scaling!

Problem: Small Windows Result in Inefficient Use of Bandwidth

From a performance point of view, one of the main limitations of the original TCP design is that the 16-bit window size header limits the TCP receive window size to 2162^{16} bytes i.e., 65,53565,535 bytes. That means the sender can send at most 65,53565,535 ...
