Please Whitelist This Site?

I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)

If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.

If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely, Charles Kozierok

TCP Sliding Window Acknowledgment System For Data Transport, Reliability and Flow Control
(Page 7 of 9)

Changes to TCP Categories and Window Sizes After Sending Bytes In the Usable Window

Now, let's suppose that in our example above, there is nothing stopping the sender from immediately transmitting the 6 bytes in the Category #3 (the usable window). When it does so, the 6 bytes will shift from Category #3 to Category #2. The byte ranges will now be as follows (Figure 208):

  1. Bytes Sent And Acknowledged: Bytes 1 to 31.

  2. Bytes Sent But Not Yet Acknowledged: Bytes 32 to 51.

  3. Bytes Not Yet Sent For Which Recipient Is Ready: None.

  4. Bytes Not Yet Sent For Which Recipient Is Not Ready: Bytes 52 to 95.

    Figure 208: TCP Stream Categories and Window After Sending Usable Window Bytes

    This diagram shows the result of the device sending all the bytes it is allowed to transmit in its usable window. It is the same as Figure 207, except that all the bytes in category #3 have moved to category #2. The usable window is now zero, and will remain so until an acknowledgment is received for bytes in category #2.
