The TCP Window Full message displayed by TCP Analysis is currently reading "TCP
transmission window is now completely full" on packets from the sender.
I would argue that phrasing could be mistaken since it's actually the result of
a calculation indicating that the TCP *receive* window of the receiver is now
completely full.
We know there also exists a TCP sender window, but it's not visible in a packet
capture, hence I don't consider it wise to "sort of" reference to it.
Would something like "TCP receive window of receiver is now completely full"
not be more precise?
