Following receipt of these segments, B acknowledges receipt
of all octets through 1601 and issues a credit of 1000 octets. This means that A ca n send octets 1601 through 2600 (5 segments). However, by the time that B's message has arrive d atA,A has already sent two segments, containing octets 1601 through 2000 (which was pe rmissible under the initial allocation). Thus, A's remaining credit at this point is OIily 400 octets (2 segments). As the exchange proceeds,A advances the trailing edge of its window each time th at it transmits and advances the leading edge only when it is granted credit. The credit allocation mechanism is quite flexible. For example, consider that th e last message issued by B was (AN = i, W = j) and that the last octet of data received by B was octet number i - 1. Then To. increase credit to an amount k(k > j) when no additional data have arrived, B issues (AN = i, W = k). To acknowledge an incoming segment containing m octets of data (m < j) without granting additional credit, B issues (AN = i + m, W = j - m). TCP Segment Format TCP uses only a single type of protocol data unit, called a TCP segment. The hea der is shown in Figure 4.13a. Because one header must serve to perform all protocol mechanism s, it is rather large, with a minimum length of 20 octets. The fields are as follows: Source Port (16 bits): Source TCP user. Destination Port (16 bits): Destination TCP user. Sequence Number (32 bits): Sequence number of the first data octet in this segme nt except when the SYN flag is set.
