HostA has established a TCP connection with HostB in a remote network. HostA
is sending packets to HostB. Assume we have configured TCP, somehow, to ACK
every segment (no ACKing every other segment). Assume that the timeout is the
same for all packets. HostB's "window size" is 20000 bytes. HostB has already
received and acknowledged everything sent by HostA's application up to
and including byte #4,978. HostA now sends segments of the same application data
stream in order:
P: 168 bytes
Q: 235 bytes
R: 437 bytes
Suppose that packet P is lost, but packets Q and R are received. What is
the acknowledgement number in the ACK for packet R.
