How did gaia.cs.umass.edu determine the value used in the Acknowledgment number field? Group of answer choicesThe value of the ACK number field is the sequence number of the next expected byte of data to be received at the server on the client-to-server direction of this connection -- one higher that the sequence number used as the sequence number in the initial SYN segment sent from client to server.Since no payload data has yet to be transmitted, there is no data to be ACKed, and so the value in this field is not important.Since no payload data has yet to be transmitted, there is no data to be ACKed, and so the value in this field is 0.

Solution

The value of the Acknowledgment number field is determined by the sequence number of the next expected byte of data to be received at the server on the client-to-server direction of this connection. This is one higher than the sequence number used as the sequence number in the initial SYN segment sent from client to server. Since no payload data has yet to be transmitted, there is no data to be ACKed, and so the value in this field is not important. However, it is not 0 because the Acknowledgment number field is always one higher than the sequence number used in the initial SYN segment.

TCP sequence numbers and ACKs (1). Consider the TCP Telnet scenario below (from Fig. 3.31 in text). Why is it that the receiver sends an ACK that is one larger than the sequence number in the received datagram?Group of answer choicesBecause TCP sequence numbers always increase by 1, with every new segment, and the TCP receiver always send the sequence number of the next expected segmentBecause the send-to receiver segment carries only one byte of data, and after that segment is received, the next expected byte of data is just the next byte (i.e., has an index that is one larger) in the data stream.
