Host A has a message to send to Host B. Host A divides the message into 5 segments and send the segments in a consecutive manner. The second segment sent from A is lost during transmission. At the end all 5 segments arrived correctly at Host B as both hosts uses a selective repeat RDT protocol. Select the correct statement. Assume that the timer is sufficiently long such that 5 consecutive segments and their corresponding ACKS can be received by Host B and Host A, respectively, and that the timer of the lost segment had a single time-out event during the transmission of the message, ,Host A sends 5 segment in total, and Host B sends 5 ACKS in total at the end. Host A sends 6 segments in total, and Host B sends 5 ACKS in total at the end.
