Question:

Assume Alice, the client, creates a connection with Bob, the server. They exchange data and close the connection. Now Alice starts a new connection with Bob by sending a new SYN segment. Before Bob responds to this SYN segment, a duplicate copy of the old SYN segment from Alice, which is wandering in the network, arrives at Bob’s computer, initiating a SYN + ACK segment from Bob. Can this segment be mistaken by Alice’s computer as the response to the new SYN segment? Explain.
