Hello. This may not be a Wireshark question - it is really a TCP question. To that end, if there is a good TCP forum to which I should post this, and similar questions, please let me know.
Recently, there have been 2 occasions where colleagues have seen retransmissions occurring, and they have been blaming this on the TCP Window Size being too small, and want to increase it. My response is: - If the TCP Window size was too small, they would see conditions where the receiver's window size goes to zero (or very small), and the sender stops sending until a window update is received showing a bigger window size. They are NOT seeing this. - I cannot think of a scenario where a too-small TCP Window size would cause retransmissions. (Can anyone in this forum???) Can anyone comment on my assertions? And, can you point me to a good TCP forum? Thx much!
