== Components  ==
== Components  ==


Describe any major components in the system and how they interact. Also include any third-party APIs (those Mozilla does not control) and what type of data is sent or received via those APIs.
A spdy server sends a value that represents the effective network CWND to the host periodically during the session. The client, upon creating a new session, echoes this value to the server so it can apply it to the new session and garner a performance benefit over TCP slow start. It is essentially a transport layer cookie specific to the protocol.
 
=== Component X  ===
 
This component does A, B and C and interacts with component Y to do D.
 
The tables below simply summarize the data encountered by this component.

'''Communication with Component Y'''
The value is limited in our implementation to 7 bits and is stored per connection entry. a connection entry is more or less defined by the tuple of {hostname, ssl, private-browsing, anonymous} - so this data is not shared between PB and non PB sessions.


{| class="wikitable"
This data is not stored on disk and is not persisted between restarts.

an about:config preference is available to control whether or not the data is stored.
