Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Sequence and Acknowledgement fields are two of the many features that help us classify TCP as a connection oriented protocol. As such, when data is sent through a TCP connection, they help the remote hosts keep track of the connection and ensure that no packet has been lost on the way to its destination.
Detailed explanation-2: -Acknowledged data At offset 32 into the TCP header is the sequence number. The sequence number is a counter used to keep track of every byte sent outward by a host. If a TCP packet contains 1400 bytes of data, then the sequence number will be increased by 1400 after the packet is transmitted.
