I am just a student learning about TCP/IP and dont know where to post this idea, figured posting it here would get me some flames and links. Why not make the window the size of the file to be transmitted and the ack back have the segments missing thereby reducing overall overhead and lag time. ie host1 1mb file --- sent -- > host2 host1 <-- ack missing 3 6 8 segments -- host2 host1 -- segments 3 6 8 sent ---> host2 host1 <-- FIN --- host2 The window could be dynamic according to content size. Buffers would have to be huge but with RAM so cheap these days why not ? or am I smoking newbie crack ? Dan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y! Messenger - Communicate in real time.
