Detailed explanation-1: -The TCP window size field controls the flow of data and is limited to 2 bytes, or a window size of 65, 535 bytes. Since the size field can’t be expanded, a scaling factor is used. TCP window scale is an option used to increase the maximum window size from 65, 535 bytes to 1 Gigabyte.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Window Size field in the TCP packet header is the number of bytes the sender will buffer for the response. Basically, during the handshake each side will say how large its receive window is.
Detailed explanation-3: -If the receiving application can read the data fast enough, a larger receive window can improve performance. When the receive buffer is full, the receiving system advertises a receive window size of zero. The sending system must pause and temporarily cannot send any more data.
