Question

Trace the states visited if nodes A and B attempt to create a TCP connection by simultaneously sending each other SYN packets, that then cross in the network. Draw the ladder diagram, and label the states on each side. Hint: there should be two pairs of crossing packets. A SYN+ACK counts, in the state diagram, as an ACK

Answer 1

Please find below the ladder diagram and the state table for creating a TCP connection by simultaneously sending each other SYN packets that cross each other in the network.
