​We haven't written anything about it since it is rather implementation
detail. The current implementation keeps track of the amount of DATA
received without acking with WINDOW_UPDATE, and if it reaches the half of
window size (e.g., 256MiB in case of 512MiB), send WINDOW_UPDATE with the
received bytes as increment.
