Hi, Thanks for the prompt reply. I wasn’t aware that in the calculation of the “ACK value” the data is being taken into consideration (calculation) as well. I thought that the ACK will be on the seq number that we have just received regardless of the payload/data of that packet.

Hi Boaz, For My opinion that's mean that's *HOST B *sends data while *HOST A *receive it and the ACK is calculated (incremented) with the amount of data payload size. btw i would disable *relative seq for TCP *only if iwould do capture from both side to compare *seq ACK*.

My questions are this: During the TCP flow I see the following: Server A sends Server B [PSH,ACK] seq=1058555096 ACK=2917173962 Server B sends Server A [ACK] seq=2917173962 ACK=1058555108 Server A sends Server B [PSH,ACK] seq=1058555108, ACK=2917173962 Server B sends Server A [ACK] seq=2917173962 ACK=1058556516 And so on, so Server B always sends ACK on a sequence with higher number… Does anyone know what the explanation of this behavior is? Is this a normal TCP flow behavior? Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
