Subject: Selection of Scaling Factor

When using RFC1323 with Window scaling, how is the scale value selected?  My
guess is it is based on the smallest scale (left shifts) required for a 64K
to be greater than the configured maximum.

For example, if a WINDOW/HIWAT of 18,000,000 bytes is selected, then the
scale would be 512 (275 rounded up to the nearest multiple of 12) or a left
shift of 9x.

Is this correct or what is a resource which provides a better explanation?

Thanks,
