Hi Ulf,

just to be clear:
The sender is allowed to send 1 byte more than the rwnd allows.
This is used for zero window probing.
Yes, your remarks sounds reasonable and reflects the effects I've seen.

Just out of interest: What will happen if the sender will send *more* than 1 byte? Will it just not be ACKed or what will happen?
