The client now sends the HTTP GET, this is the first packet that actually contains any payload. The Acknowledgement number is also increased by one to indicate that the client has received the SYN from the server. The Sequence number is increased by one since the client previously sent a SYN packet. (The MSS used will be the lowest MSS set by either side) The Acknowledgement number is 1 to indicate the receipt of the clients SYN in packet #1.Ĭlient now send the ACK to complete the three way handshake. The MSS is also set 1460 by the server, meaning that MSS that will be use in this conversation is 1460 bytes. Server sends SYN/ACK back to the client since this is the first packet the server sends it will also have the relative Sequence number of 0. The Acknowledgement number is set to 0 since there is no data to ACK. You can also see that the client has the MSS set to 1460. Working example (The packets are captured on the client):Ĭlient sends SYN to server, since this is the first packet in the conversation the relative Sequence number will be 0.
But in real the SEQ number the conversation could start with any number between 0 and 4,294,967,295. If you have “Relative sequence numbers” enabled in Wireshark each conversation will always start at 0. Both the server and the client will have different SEQ numbers and the SEQ numbers will be based on the length of the TCP segment in the packet. Sequence number is used to keep track of the data sent in a TCP communication. MSS is negotiated in the three way handshake between the client and the server at the beginning of a TCP connection. The TCP MSS does not include the IP header or the TCP header.
MSS stands for Maximum Segment Size which specifies the largest amount of data that a device can receive in a single TCP segment. Depending on if you included the Ethernet frame or not the standard is 1500 bytes (Wireshark will show 1514 bytes as length since the Ethernet frame is included) for a TCP packet that would be the IP Header (20 bytes) + TCP Header (20 bytes) + TCP segment length (1460 bytes). MTU stands for Maximum transmission unit meaning the size on the largest network layer protocol data unit that can be communicated in a single network transaction. We will also look briefly on Selective Acknowledgement (SACK) which also can be good to know when troubleshooting TCP problems. We will now try to explain how SEQ numbers MSS and MTU is directly related to each other and we will also look at an example from when it works. To make it easier to read we will have the setting enabled in this How To.Īn explanation of Sequence numbers, MSS and MTU: You can read more about the setting at this link. By having it enabled the relative SEQ and ACK numbers will be shown, meaning that all SEQ and ACK numbers always start at 0 for the first packet seen in each conversation.
This is totally up to the user and how you prefer to read it, by disabling it you will see the real/absolute SEQ, Next SEQ and ACK numbers and that can be cumbersome to read. There is one thing more I usually change and that is to disable “Relative sequence numbers” in Wireshark for the TCP protocol. I recommend that you have them in the same order as pictures shows since it will be easier to read, you can also rename the columns to something shorter for example SEQ, Next SEQ and ACK to make it even easier to read.
