Re: data overflowing the window

[Bill Sommerfeld <sommerfeld%east.sun.com@localhost>]

this looks like a corner case.

the spec says:

   "No data may be sent to a channel until
   a message is received to indicate that window space is available."

and:

   "'initial window size' specifies how many bytes of channel data can be
   sent to the sender of this message without adjusting the window."

in addition, the spec says:

   Both parties MAY ignore all extra data sent after the allowed
   window is empty.

which clearly implies that clients which wish reliable transport MUST
NOT send more than allowed by the current window.
