(Maximum Segment Size) defines the largest segment of TCP (Transfer Control Protocol) data that the Winsock is prepared to receive. When a connection is established, the two ends agree to use the smaller of each end's value. Because headers are typically 40 bytes, MSS is usually 40 less than the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit).
