I am confused about the meaning of the SSH-2 window adjust packet, as
described in section 5.2 of RFC 4254. If the number of bytes to add
included in this packet is N, and the current window size is W, what is
the window size after receiving this packet? N + W? N? Something else?
N+W. Note `bytes _to add_', and `the recipient MAY send the given number
of bytes _more than it was previously allowed to send_' (my emphasis).
Thanks for your answer. I guess that my doubt comes precisely
from that 'previously', which can be interpreted as 'the last time that
window information was sent (regardless of the window value at that
point)' or 'the value of the window size when this window adjust packet
is received'. Of course, with the former interpretation it makes no sense
to keep adding bytes, for the window size would only increase.
