Tcp window scale factor!

Hello Experts,

I read about tcp window scaling factor and how that influence overall tcp
flow
What I understood is,

Let's say the client send a sync with window size of 64323 bytes and
window scale factor 3 (multiple of 8 =2^3)
So the server will send first 64323 bytes and start sending second
64323bytes without waiting for an ack, same thing for 3rd and so
on ...until 8th. If the sender receive an ack in btw for 1st 64323 then the
sender will shift the factor to the left and keep sending the traffic.

Example: sender sent 2x64323 and left with 6 remaining but the sender
receive an ack for first 64323 and sender now has 7 remaining.

Please let me know if my understanding is correct. Thanks and appreciate
your response.

Regards,
Kumar
