I don't understand very well the part of the acknowledge sequence number meaning: is it the same as the last bit number of the segment or the last segment sent in a window?
Appart from that the RFC 793 doesn't explain anything about the field, I don't understand very well the explanation given in RFC 2018 and finally the timestamp at RFC 1323.
Where can we find something to base on when doing the exercises?
ReplyDeleteI have felt a bit lost when I have seen homework.
Thanks.
@José Vicente:
ReplyDeleteFlow control -> "recv window" field on TCP header (16 bit value). Ethernet-based MSS = 1460 bytes.
Skip exercise 4 till this week, as I can see we've not yet explained how a connection is created or closed.
There's any document for today's lab session?
ReplyDeleteIt's in the repository. But I'll put a link in the blog right now.
