    The sliding window protocol uses sequence numbers to track data packets being transmitted. The maximum window size is one less than the highest sequence number because the protocol needs to reserve the highest number to acknowledge the next packet. For example, in a sequence of numbers from 0 to 7, the maximum window size is 7 since that leaves number 8 available to acknowledge the receipt of the next packet.
