In the connection termination phase, suppose the FIN segment from the client-side contains data ranging from sequence no 100 to 200,

So will the ACK no from the server start from 201 or 202? Will the FIN flag consume 1 extra sequence number at the end, making the ACK no from server 202?

Or Will the sequence number consumed by FIN be 99, before the beginning of the data segment
