- Can somebody answer a stupid question:
-
- What is the reason for the difference in the lenght of the window-field
- (16)
- and the sequence-number-field (32 bit). Using 16-bit-numbers for sequencing
- and acknowledging could spare 4 byte in each packet.
- Hope this isn½t a faq.
-
- Thanks
- Andreas
