Anyone can help me what is "TCP window size" means and how it affects
network performance?
 
Hi,

The TCP receive window size is the amount of receive data (in bytes) that
can be buffered at one time on a connection. The sending host can send only
that amount of data before waiting for an acknowledgment and window update
from the receiving host.

See:
