Delay refers to the RTT (round trip time), and bandwidth is measured in bits/s. Therefore the delay X bandwidth product is the amount of data (bits) in the pipe or unacknowledged in one round trip time. Given x bits for the advertised window latex($$2^x \geq Delay~X~Bandwith$$) means that you can continuously send data if acks arrive in RTT/2 time as expected.
