Host A is sending Host B a large le over a TCP connection. Assume Host B has no data to send Host A. Host B will not send acknowledgments to Host A because Host B cannot piggyback the acknowledgments on data. a. Trueb. False

False.

Explanation:

Piggybacking is an optimization that is used when both sides have to send data to each

other so that the receiver, instead of sending two packets i. e., an ACK and a data packet, it just sends one.

When the receiver (B) does not have any data to send, it will still send an ACK with the sequence number

field containing the next sequence of data it is supposed to send
