I don't have any idea what you are asking, so I can't answer your 
question.

Before proceeding, it would probably be worth your while to find a copy of 
Stevens's TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 2 and at least skim it so that you 
have a better idea of how the connection establishment process works.  The 
book describes an earlier version of the BSD TCP/IP stack, but much still 
applies.
