Windowing and sequencing

I think its explained relatively simply as a note in the sybex study guide of todd lammle on bottom page 16.

It states "If a TCP session is set up with a window size of 2 bytes, and during the transfer
stage of the session the window size changes from 2 bytes to 3 bytes, the sending
host must then transmit 3 bytes before waiting for an acknowledgment
instead of the 2 bytes originally set up in the virtual circuit. "

hope this helps
