Hi All,

I'm confused about how Ethernet stack works exactly if we have an application needs to send a 20k message via tcp protocol where:
1 - in SoAd module, shall we create a buffer for the 20k message?
2 - is the 20k delivered to the Transport layer? is there any allocated buffer in that layer?
3 - Is 20k message segmented based on the MSS, if so how those segments transmitted through the sliding window?

Thanks in advance
