    TCP Packet Acknowledgement Number

    Hello,

    I was using a program to view the tcp packets coming to my pc such as when i go to a web page. It shows the packet data, acknowledgement number, sequence number, etc. So I learned from viewing this information that the acknowledgement number is the same throughout a packet.

    My question is how would you determine the last packet has arrived for that web page? In otherwords, if you were viewing all of the packets coming in for a single web page, how do you know when the last one has arrived? Is there some sort of flag or something to show this?

    Thanks,

    Warren

    Nevermind, found out how. It sends a finish flag in the last packet.

    Thanks!
