Question

A sender sends a series of packets to the same destination using 5-bit sequence of
numbers. If the sequence number starts with 0, what is the sequence number of the
100th packet?

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the sequence number starts with 0, what is the sequence number after sending 100 packets? A five-bit sequence number can create sequence numbers from 0 to 31. The sequence number in the Nth packet is (N mod 32). This means that the 101th packet has the sequence number (101 mod 32) or 5
