John- I believe you've let this term confuse you. What you are seeing with TCP windowing is how may packets you send before requiring an acknowledgement. This is better know as the sliding window principle, because consistent connections allow the window to open more freely (i.e. larger periods without an ack). When a network hiccup occurs, the window shuts and eases back open when the connection resumes.
