Since the field that stores the sequence number of a packet is limited in size, the sequence

Question:

Since the field that stores the sequence number of a packet is limited in size, the sequence number in a protocol needs to wrap around, which means that two packets may have the same sequence number. In a protocol that uses m bits for the sequence-number field, if a packet has the sequence number x, how many packets need to be sent to see a packet with the same sequence number x, assuming that each packet is assigned one sequence number?
