What will happen if the final ACK for three-way handshake is dropped?
<p>Based on <a href="http://www.cs.northwestern.edu/~agupta/cs340/project2/TCPIP_State_Transition_Diagram.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TCP state transition graph</a>, when server(passive open end) has sent SYN,ACK to client (active open end), and client received it and sent ACK to server, but is dropped in the network, what will happen?</p>

<p>It seems like, client will go into ESTABLISHED state and server won't, but client doesn't know this...</p>
