Question 3- TCP Flow Control (16 points): Assume that a client has opened a TCP connection
with a server to download a file. During setting up the connection, the client set its receive window to
5000 bytes (rwnd =5000) and the server set its Initial Sequence Number (ISN) to 200. Assume that
no segments were lost for the whole duration of the connection. The following events happened in order
between the client and the server:
(a)(4 points) Once the connection is opened, the server sent 2000 bytes. How much more the server
can send to the client without waiting for an ACK?
(b)(4 points) The server then received an ACK with a value of 700. How many more bytes the server
can send before receiving the next ACK?
(c)(4 points) The server then sent 2000 bytes segment. What is the sequence number of this TCP
segment?
(d)(4 points) The server then received an ACK with a value of 2500 and a rwnd with a value of 7000.
How many more bytes the server can send before receiving the next ACK?
Hint : dont forget to take into account the 3-way TCP handshake when calculating the acknowledgements
and sequence numbers
