Re: Fill the Gap

nice discussion is going on.
i think an interviewer can ask any question.
i want to share about my interview experience when an interviewer ask me
first question about TCP sliding window
i tell him the the purpose of the tcp sliding window after that interviewer
ask me tell me how the TCP Acknowledgment works between source and
destination.ha.....

Dont worry about these questions and manage the interview.
