I'm wondering if it's possible to draw in wireshark the actual size of TCP window (amount of unacknowledged data sent). I'm aware of Statistics/TCP Stream graphs/Window scaling but to my understanding it draws maximum TCP window allowed by receiver and the actual amount of unacknowledged data sent be sender could be lower.

That's how I think it could be calculated:

• If the capture was done on receiver end the window size would be amount of data sent in a time window equal to RTT.
• If the capture was done on a
  sender end that would be amount of
  data sent since the last acknowledged packet.
