What I am thinking of is Flow Control. I have a long
list of TCP packages and can see that the "Win" varies
for each package. When I want to find the minimal
buffersize for the whole trace I was thinking just to
fine the smallest value for "Win" for a package.


And how is it possible to see if the sender gets
throttled by the receivers buffersize? Since in my
trace "Win" never gets the value 0, I guess one could
say that the sender never gets throttled.
