yes   it is very likely that a segment was lost by the network and
therefore triggering a dup ack when the next segment was received.

networks are unreliable and you WILL get packetloss in ALL networks.
this is only a problem if you get too many dropped packets  so you get
a lot of retransmission timeouts.
