I have two hosts A and B and a host(called client here) C C will establish a tcp connection with A, and send http requests to A then A will relay the HTTP requests to B (the relaying may be seconds of delay) and B will spoof its IP address as the IP of A and send http response to C

I know there is sequnce number inconsistency problem, but is it possible to trick the TCP protocol to make the connection viable? thanks!
