Definitely true, the ACK number is crucial for data flow.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the acknowledgment number being related to data flow. Maybe it's false?

I think this statement is true because if the acknowledgment number isn't incremented, it usually means no data is being received.

This is a good one. The question is testing our understanding of how TCP acknowledgments work. I'm going to carefully consider the statement and then select the answer that best fits the description.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Does this mean the Acknowledgment Number is always supposed to be incremented, or only after the handshake? I need to re-read the question and make sure I understand the details.

Okay, let me break this down. The key is understanding that the Acknowledgment Number field is supposed to be incremented with each packet received. If it's not being incremented, that means no data is being received. I think I've got this.
