192 Networking Explained, Second Edition
A receives the acknowledgment for frame
1 and advances the left side of its send
window by one. Since this ACK carried a
WIN of four, A may now advance the right
side of its send window by one to maintain
a send window size of four. In doing so, A
is now permitted to transfer one more
frame, namely, frame 5.
B receives frame 4 and sends its
corresponding acknowledgment with a
window size of ve. Thus, once A
receives this acknowledgment, it will
change its send window to ve, which will
per
mit it to transfer ve frames.
