False

Explanation:

The statement is false because if host A is sending host B a large file over a TCP connection. If the sequence number for a segment of this connection is m, then the sequence number for the subsequent segment will not necessarily be m+1 rather what happens is that the sequence number of the subsequent segment depends on the number of 8-byte characters in the current segment.
