Question

A student is learning about the `three-way handshake' done when a client and server connect to each other using the TCP network protocol. The student says

“I don't understand why the initial sequence numbers (ISNs) seem to be pseudorandom numbers. Wouldn't it be easier for both client and server to have an ISN of 1?”

Write an explanation that will help this student understand why network security is

improved by having ISNs that look random.
