IP header min size=20 Bytes, TCP header min size=20 Bytes

During TCP connection setup phase each size announces its maximum segment size. If the hosts do not use this then the default is set to 536 byte payload. Thus making 556 byte the default segment size

so answer is 20+20+536=576 Bytes

Andrew S. Tanenbaum Edition 5th Exercise 6 Question 27 (Page No. 608)
In Fig. 6-36 we saw that in addition to the 32-bit acknowledgement field, there is an ACK bit in the fourth word. Does this really add anything? Why or why not?

Datagram fragmentation and reassembly are handled by IP and are invisible to TCP. Does this mean that TCP does not have to worry about data arriving in the wrong order?
