Consider a TCP client and a TCP server running on two different machines. After completing data transfer, the TCP client calls close to terminate the connection and a FIN segment is sent to the TCP server. Server-side TCP responds by sending an ACK which is received by the client-side TCP. As per the TCP connection state diagram(RFC 793), in which state does the client side TCP connection wait for the FIN from the server-side TCP?

LAST-ACK

TIME-WAIT

FIN-WAIT-1

FIN-WAIT-2
