Let us suppose A and B wants to talk with each other.  Then

Step1:  Machine_A will set one of the TCP flags to 1 and send it with a
random sequence number,  I have assumed it to be 1 here in this example.

A
---------------------SYN_A=1--------------------------------------------------->
B

Step2: Here Machine_B will send its own random sequence number, I assumed
it as 1 and I till add one to the SYN number of A and send it back as
ACK_A=2,  By that Machine A will know that B received the initial SYN
packet which it sent.

B ------------------SYN_B=1 & ACK_B=2 (SYN_A+1) -------------------> A

Step3: Here machine_A will do the samething of adding one to the syn_B.


A ------------------ACK_A=2 (SYN_B+1)
--------------------------------------> B

These three steps are the sole reason why TCP is called a connection
oriented connections and we can resend a packet if the acknowledgement is
not received.
