Before Linux 5.3, i.e. before Linux kernel commit 8f7baad7f035 ("tcp: Add snd_wnd to TCP_INFO"), the sending window (\fIsnd_wnd\fR field) is not available. -If the sending window cannot be queried, it will always be announced as a fixed -value to guest or target namespace (14 600 bytes, suggested by RFC 6928), and -segments received by guest or target namespace will be acknowledged as soon as -the corresponding payload is enqueued to the corresponding socket.
