Consider a simple application-level protocol built on top of UDP that allows a client to
retrieve a file from a remote server residing at a well-known address. The client first
sends a request with a file name, and the server responds with a sequence of data
packets containing different parts of the requested file. To ensure reliability and
sequenced delivery, client and server use a stop-and-wait protocol. Ignoring the obvious
performance issue, do you see a problem with this protocol? Think carefully
about the possibility of processes crashing.

In Fig. 6-36 we saw that in addition to the 32-bit acknowledgement field, there is anACK bit in the fourth word. Does this really add anything? Why or why not?
