The FIN flag is set and sent from host A to host B when host A has no more data to transmit (Closing a TCP connection). This flag releases the connection resources. However, host A can continue to receive data as long as the SYN sequence numbers of transmitted packets from host B are lower than the packet segment containing the set FIN flag.

  1. CEH Instructor says:

    The SYN bit is set only during the TCP three-way handshake, not during the transmission of data after the handshake has completed. The question should read:

    “continue to receive data as long as the sequence numbers”

    versus

    “continue to receive data as long as the SYN sequence numbers”
