Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a fundamental component of the Internet protocol suite, responsible for establishing and maintaining reliable connections between devices across networks. In TCP, the concept of windowing plays a important role in optimizing data transfer efficiency by managing flow control and error recovery mechanisms. Windowing in TCP refers to the sliding window
