Unreferenced date December 2009 IPstack In Transmission Control Protocol Transmission Control Protocol TCP , the congestion window is one of the factors that determines the number of bytes that can be outstanding at any time. This is not to be confused with the TCP window size which is maintained by the receiver. This is a means of stopping the link between two places from getting overloaded with too much traffic. The size of this window is calculated by estimating how much congestion there is between the two places. The sender maintains the congestion window. When a connection is set up, the congestion window is set to the maximum segment size MSS allowed on that connection. Further variance in the congestion window is dictated by an AIMD Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease approach. This means that if all segments are received and the acknowledgments reach the sender on time, some constant is added to the window size. The window keeps growing exponentially until a timeout occurs or the receiver reaches its limit a threshold value ssthresh . After this the congestion window increases linearly at the rate of 1 congestion window packets on each new acknowledgement received. On timeout Congestion window is reset to 1 MSS ssthresh is set to half the window size before packet loss started Slow start slow start is initiated. A system administrator may adjust the maximum window size limit, or adjust the constant added during additive increase, as part of TCP tuning . The flow of data over a TCP connection is also controlled by the use of the receiver advertised Transmission Control Protocol Flow control TCP Receive Window .

for the song by Erykah Badu Window Seat song A window seat is a miniature couch sofa without a back, intended to fill the recess of a window. In the latter part of the 18th century, when tall narrow sash windows were almost universal, the window seat was in high favor, and was no doubt in keeping with the formalism of Georgian era Georgian interiors. It differed much in decorative detail, but little in form. It stood as high from the floor as a chair the two ends were identical, with a roll over curve, more or less pronounced. The seats and ends were usually upholstered in rich fabrics which in many cases have remained intact. The legs followed the fashion in chairs and were square and tapered, or, somewhat later, round and reeded. Hepplewhite and the brothers Adam designed many graceful window seats, but they were produced by all the cabinet makers of the period. A window seat may also be built into the recess containing a window. ref citation chapter Window seats title Small strawbale natural homes, projects & design page 75 isbn 9781586855154 year 2005 ref In vehicles, where seats are arranged in rows, a window seat is a seat nearest the window.
