If two communicating entities are in different hosts connected by a network,there is a risk that PDUs will not arrive in the order in which they were sent,because they may traverse( )paths through the network. If each PDUs is given a unique number,and numbers are assigned( ),then it is a logically simple task for the receiving entity to reorder( )PDUs on the basis of sequence number. A problem with this scheme is that,with a( )sequence number field,sequence number will repeat. Evidently,the maximum sequence number must be ( )than the maximum number of PDUs that could be outstanding at any time.
