TCP Mapping -- Shrinking the Window
The tcpmapping document is silent with respect to shrinking a window
after it has been advertised.
This
behavior is inconsistent with window-based flow control (the window's
edge should never be moved to the left). However, because the specification
is silent, there is confusion as to what should happen if this behavior
occurs.
Should
the tcpmapping document include wording similar to that in the relevant
sections of RFC 1122 that makes it clear that the window may be
advanced only to the right?
