Suppose Host A is sending a large file to Host B over a TCP connection. If the sequence number for a segment of this connection is m, then the sequence number for the subsequent segment must be m+1.

True.
In TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), each segment is assigned a sequence number to ensure reliable and ordered delivery of data. The sequence number represents the position of the data in the overall file.
To maintain ordering, the sequence number for each subsequent segment should be incremented by 1 from the previous segment. This ensures that the receiver can correctly reassemble and arrange the segments at their original order.
Therefore, if the sequence number for a segment is m, the sequence number for the subsequent segment should indeed be m+1.
