This illustration also uses the structure from the previous figure, including Host A and Host B. Here, the interaction once again begins at the topmost portion of Host A's timeline. A blue arrow labeled "Seq=92, 8 bytes data" extends diagonally downward to the right, where it intersects with Host B's timeline. In response, an arrow labeled "ACK=100" extends from Host B's timeline to Host A's timeline. Just below Host A's first transmission is a second transmission, labeled "Seq=100, 20 bytes data." In response, an arrow labeled "ACK=120" extends from Host B's timeline to Host A's timeline.

Halfway down Host A's timeline-before Host A receives Host B's initial responses-Host A makes a third transmission identical to the first. In response, an arrow labeled "ACK=120" extends from Host B's timeline to Host A's timeline. The area on Host A's timeline between the first and the third transmission is labeled "seq=92 timeout interval." And the area on Host A's timeline between the third transmission and the receipt of the third response from Host B is labeled "seq=92 timeout interval."
