Jo,

Both ends of the tcp connection need to support Window scaling for it to
be used:

"This option is an offer, not a promise; both sides must send Window Scale
options in their SYN segments to enable window scaling in either
direction."
(From http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1323)

In your trace, host 63.245.209.93 does not support Window scaling, as the
SYN/ACK that it sends does not have the window scaling option. Therfore no
window scaling will be used and Wireshark displays non-scaled values.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
     Sake

  Hi Sake,



  Here you go: http://denuitlaat.be/tcp/windowscaled1.pcap .
  It shows that a session is started with a SYN and the option ws is
present (ws = 2). The segments following do not show a scaled window
size.



  Regards,

  jo

  Hi Jo,



  The window size should consistently be displayed within one TCP session.
Between sessions, there could be difference, because either there is no
scaling, or the SYN, SYN/ACK were not present in the tracefile. If that
does not explain the differences you see, could you provide a small
capture showing this issue?



  Cheers,

  Sake

    Hi,



    Is there a reason why sometimes in a connection which received a
window scaler (syn;syn,ack) , the window size is

    shown as "number (scaled)" and sometimes just as "number" (non scaled)
in the next segments. Cause in the last case its not

    possible to know the exact window size as the window scale factor is
non present in the segments after the syn; syn,ack.

    Kind regards,

    Jo

Sake,



That explains...
But that doesn't change the fact that it is bizar, because the
destination ip of the server in the pcap file is a webserver of the
Mozilla corp. So a 100MBit+ webserver that does not support window
scaling?



Thanks for the info,

jo
