The window scale = 0 is a tcp option that allows TCP to increase its window
size from 16 bits to 32 bits in size. Without boring everyone with minor
details if the window scale was set to 1 that would mean that window size
would be 131070 or 65535 x 2 and so on. If you want more information on
this option see RFC 1323 or TCP/IP Illustrated Vol. 1 page 347-349.
