Question: ( a ) A TCP sender , called Ois n , and a TCP receiver, called Niamh, communicate over a connection, in which segment loss

(a) A TCP sender, called Oisn, and a TCP receiver, called Niamh, communicate over a connection, in which segment loss is possible. Oisn's goal is to send ten segments to Niamh. Oisn sends an initial window of five segments at times t=1,2,3,4 and 5 respectively.
The initial value of the sequence number used by Oisn is 69. Every segment sent to the Niamh contains 975 bytes.
The delay between Oisn and Niamh is 7 time units. For example, the first segment arrives at Niamh's TCP at time t=8 units. The ACK corresponding to this segment arrives at time t=15.
Three of the five segments are lost between Oisn and Niamh. None of the ACKs are lost. No timeouts occur, and any out of order segments received are thrown out.
Figure 6: TCP Sender and Receiver.
(i) What are the sequence numbers of the segments sent at times t=1,2,3,4 and t=5?
(ii) What are the values of the ACK numbers sent at times t=8,9,10,11 and t=12?(If the corresponding segment is lost, respond by writing "x")
(iii) What are the sequence numbers of the segments sent at times t=15,16,17,18 and t=19?(If and ACK never arrives, give "x" as your answer)
