TCP uses a sequence number to identify each byte of data. The sequence number identifies the order of the bytes sent from each computer so that the data can be reconstructed in order, regardless of any out-of-order delivery that may occur. The sequence number of the first byte is chosen by the transmitter for the first packet, which is flagged SYN.

A message sequence chart (or MSC) is an interaction diagram from the SDL family standardized by the International Telecommunication Union. The purpose of recommending MSC (Message Sequence Chart) is to provide a trace language for the specification and description of the communication behaviour of system components and their environment by ...
A TCP sequence prediction attack is an attempt to predict the sequence number used to identify the packets in a TCP connection, which can be used to counterfeit packets. [1] The attacker hopes to correctly guess the sequence number to be used by the sending host. If they can do this, they will be able to send counterfeit packets to the ...
If nothing was done, eventually the number of packets circulating would build up until the network was congested to the point of failure. Time to live is a field that is decreased by one each time a packet goes through a network hop. If the field reaches zero, routing has failed, and the packet is discarded. [6]
Modifications: Modified version of TCP state diagram, with receipt of ACK added as requirement for CLOSING->TIME_WAIT and LAST_ACK->CLOSED transitions. The original can be viewed here: Tcp state diagram fixed.svg: . Modifications made by Scil100.
When a client sends back a TCP ACK packet to the server in response to the server's SYN+ACK packet, the client must (according to the TCP spec) use n+1 in the packet's Acknowledgement number, where n is the initial sequence number sent by the server. The server then subtracts 1 from the acknowledgement number to reveal the SYN cookie sent to ...
Transmission sequence number (TSN) The sequence number for the entire DATA stream (used for acknowledgement and retransmission). Stream identifier Identifier of the stream that this data chunk belongs to. Message identifier (MID) Identifier of the message in this stream. If a message is fragmented then the same value is used for all fragments.
