-> The TCP header has a 16 bits field that specifies (and now
-> I'm quoting from the RFC 793): "The number of data octets
-> beginning with the one indicated in the acknowledgment
-> field which the sender of this segment is willing to
-> accept." In plain english: how much "useful" data you can
-> accept from the sender.
