networking - Benefit of small TCP receive window? -


i trying learn how tcp flow control works when came across concept of receive window.

my question is, why tcp receive window scale-able? there advantages implementing small receive window size?

because understand it, larger receive window size, higher throughput. while smaller receive window, lower throughput, since tcp wait until allocated buffer not full before sending more data. doesn't make sense have receive window @ maximum @ times have maximum transfer rate?

my question is, why tcp receive window scale-able?

there 2 questions there. window scaling ability multiply scale power of 2 can have window sizes > 64k. rest of question indicates asking why resizeable, answer 'so application can choose own receive window size'.

are there advantages implementing small receive window size?

not really.

because understand it, larger receive window size, higher throughput.

correct, bandwidth-delay product. beyond that, increasing has no effect.

while smaller receive window, lower throughput, since tcp wait until allocated buffer not full before sending more data. doesn't make sense have receive window @ maximum @ times have maximum transfer rate?

yes, bandwidth-delay product (see above).

a small receive window ensures when packet loss detected (which happens on high collision network),

no doesn't. simulations show if packet loss gets above few %, tcp becomes unusable.

the sender not need resend lot of packets.

it doesn't happen that. there aren't advantages small window sizes except lower memory occupancy.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
