== can it handle length>65535? ==
 
Can Nagle's Algorithm handle packets of total length >65535? (cause it would be easy to support in theory, with a maximum waste of 2 bytes (when len mod 65535), eg, if a packet is exactly 65535 then FFFF ~data~ 0000 , or if a packet is >65535 then (for 65536): FFFF ~data1~ 01 00 ~data2~~ , which could continue forever until a non-FFFF is reached or until 0000 is reached, but im just theorizing, i don't know how it _ACTUALLY_ works :o ) [[User:Divinity76|Divinity76]] ([[User talk:Divinity76|talk]]) 00:50, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

answer from John Nagle himself: The maximum possible length for an IP datagram is 65535 bytes, because the size field in the IP header, for both IPv4 and IPv6, is only 16 bits.

== Window size in algorithm ==
 
{{User|Nagle}}, which window size does the algorithm refer to? I would assume that it is the [[congestion window]] and not the [[receive window]] <s>and I updated the article accordingly, but please confirm and correct if necessary</s>. After reading [http://apmblog.dynatrace.com/2014/08/12/understanding-application-performance-network-part-tcp-window-size/ Understanding Application Performance on the Network – Part VII: TCP Window Size], I guess it is the receive window, actually? Still a bit confusing. Does window size refer to the actual window size or some sort of available space in the window?
