[e2e] RFC 1323

hi,

in the above RFC

on page 14
A)  Delayed ACKs.

           Many TCP's acknowledge only every Kth segment out of a group
           of segments arriving within a short time interval; this
           policy is known generally as "delayed ACKs".  The data-sender
           TCP must measure the effective RTT, including the additional
           time due to delayed ACKs, or else it will retransmit
           unnecessarily.  Thus, when delayed ACKs are in use, the
           receiver should reply with the TSval field from the earliest
           unacknowledged segment.


does this "K" decide window size?

is a window defined as a "collection of segments which is retransmitted in
case of no ack in a stipulated period"?

-thanks and rgds
