  • Latency plays a big role in throughput. If one download target was ‘closer’, i.e. lower latency, it will be able to scale the windowsize higher, therefore allowing more data to flow through for a given connection.

Not all envelopes can carry the same amount of paper for a given connection, and the more paper you stuff in your envelope, the faster the transfer completes.
