Grant Wow! Thanks again. You cleared up the last missing piece about ACKs! So the slow side can ACK multiple sequence numbers with a single packet. Likewise, the /fast/ side can send multiple ACKs for the same repetitive sequence number. That makes perfect sense. Now I believe that TCP packets can all have ACKs set on an ESTABLISHED connection. Chris P.S. BTW, I'm curious how you knew this level of great info. Did you carefully read through RFC 793? That was jam packed with info but hard to digest fully.
