Explain the significance of initial sequence number in TCP.
What will be an ideal response?
The ‘Initial Sequence Number (ISN)’ is the number associated with the first byte
that the sender transmits. This is established during the three-way handshake.
Each party specifies the ISN that it would use for the first byte. The sequence
number is increased for every succeeding byte. The ISN is chosen randomly,
instead of zero, to prevent any confusion because of delayed segments from
previous connections.
