I am having some confusion on when the sequence number increases.
Basically, I understand that the sequence number increases for the 3-way handshake due to the SYN flag being set. However, why does the sequence number increase for B’s second response?
Shouldn’t it have stayed the same due to no new flags being set as well as no data being set?
