feel free make a simplifying assumption regarding the closing side. you don't need to go into the wait state. I should have suggested in the initial handout that the TCP state machine can be significantly simplified - this means your state machine would have far fewer states than the normal one.

Also, after the connection ended on the side that sent out the first FIN,ACK are we required to implement the wait at the end? Are we required to be able to handle arriving packets at this point?
