For every BYTE it sends. TCP sequences every byte. The sequence number in a
packet is the sequence number of the first byte in the packet. The ACK
number is the byte number that the receiver expects next. The window field
specifies how many bytes the receiver is ready to receive.
Other than that, your message is right on.
