A server is sending data to a client using TCP. The client has a transport buffer window containing 6KB. The server has sent two packets each containing 1KB of data which have both arrived at the client. The client application has read 1KB of data from the buffer. The server now sends a third and fourth packet of data containing 1KB each to the client but the third packet is delayed and the fourth packet arrives first. 1) What are the ACK and WIN values in the ACK packet that the client sends back to the server after the arrival of the fourth packet? 2) The third packet now arrives. What are the ACK and WIN values in the ACK packet that the client sends back to the server after the arrival of this packet? 3) What is the purpose of the WIN field in the TCP header?
