[dccp] Question: definition of a window of data packet



Dear Friends,
While reading the paper "Designing DCCP: Congestion Control Without Reliability", I was confused by CCID2.
In page 7, section 4.2, paragraph 4, line 6~7.
It says: "If the sender did not hear from the receiver that all of the packets in a window of data were received,
..... "
What does the term "packets of a window of data" means?
Does it means the sequence of packets that are sent out every time " int(cwnd_) - pipe_ > 0"?
Say if current cwnd_ == 4.35, and pipe_ == 3, "packets of a window of data" is acctually 1 packet. Am I right?

So, in order to tell whether two lost packet is in the same window or not, the sender has to keep some
"packet seqno <-> window seqno" mappping in mind after sending out the packets?

Please kindly let me know the error if above statement is problemetic.
Thank you very much!
