Something in between. A session with a window of 5 means that packets
from this session will not get on the wire until there are less then 5
packets from all session on the wire. Note that the order in the queue
does not change. Thus, a session with a window of 10 can have more
packets on the wire than a session with a window of 5 iff the first
session generated more packets in sequence.
I am not saying this is the best strategy nor am I sure that this
really works as designed. (I remember a recent test with a single
scotty process polling thousands of agents where some strange things
started to happen after a few minutes.)
