According to RFC, TCP sender limits the amount of bytes not just based on the receiver window. It is a max(send window, congestion window, receiver window). In modern linux or window systems, the receiver window is pretty large (2 raised 64) Bytes. I don't think this causes congestion. The most obvious reasons would be the packets lost on the intermediate router paths with buffer overflow and large round trip times leading to a smaller allowed congestion window.
Is this window is flow specific or stack specific? I mean In linux net.ipv4.tcp_rmem has the receive buffer value. Would all the flows share this buffer or each flow gets that amount of buffer?
+Xing Honey what you are talking about is the TCP WINDOW which has a max value of 16bits.. TCP Flow control on the otherhand is a protocol that specifies the sender how much data a sender can send. TCP uses the window scaling flow control protocol in which the sending device can send all packets within the tcp window size without receiving any ACK.
I am having buffer size of 4096 bytes and one application tries to send 2915 but I am able to receive 1265 bytes only. Please tell me what are possible reasons and suggest possible solutions for it.......
Kurose and Ross would be proud of this! Excellent explanation of a complicated Computer Networking mechanism. Thank you for sharing :)
This is THE best show in the world.

Very helpful and easy to understand for a beginner!

Love the show. Thanks Shannon.
Great video and well presented, thank you so much !

Really old post but could be due to MTU size on your switch.
how does the receiver know it must reply to the keep alive message since it has no ack no
how do tcp and wireshark decode the keep alive messages
There was nothing in the cup.
thank you :)
So ..
[ Client----ZeroWindow----> Server ] Not enough Buffer for you Server.
[ Client Server ] Ok Server i have a room (window) for your bytes ..
Window update message it comes from server to client ...

why can't every girl be like this?
Because everyone is different?
