Question

TCP Connection Management:

Draw a Trace of the TCP connection set up known as the three-way handshake. Assume the connection is initiated by a Web Client to a Web server. The trace must clearly indicate special flags used in the TCP header of each step and show the relation between sequence numbers of the exchanged segments. In addition also indicate if each segment may or may not contain application data (according to the TCP implementation described in the textbook).

Also draw a trace of the closing of the above established TCP connection. The closing is initiated by the client. Clearly indicate special flags.
