Hi Damien,
You can only say the the ACK will be larger than 2600 because ACK always contains the next expected SEQ. That next SEQ will be current SEQ + 1 + current packet's TCP payload length (not necessarily 1 or 1000 as said in other responses).
So if the last packet with SEQ 2600 contains 123 bytes of payload Host 2 will send a ACK 2600 + 1 + 123 = 2724. Host 1's next packet will have a SEQ = 2724 as expected by Host 2.
Regards,
Christophe
E. The segment that is sent from Host 2 to Host 1 has a acknowledgment field larger than 2600
