Question regarding TCP behavior

Greetings.

I have a question about how linux's TCP stack behaves.
I apologize if this is not the right place to ask this question and
please redirect me.

When a TCP end point (A) sends x bytes of data to the other end point (B),
does B immediately ACK the received bytes or will it do so only when the data
is passed to the upper layer ?


Thanks
Thomas
