Title: How to identify session setup / confirmation

Hello All,

I am trying to analyze packets between two Microsoft Biztalk servers.  I am looking for two things.
1.  1st server requesting a session with the 2nd server.
2.  Confirmation that the communication session is setup / ack'd.

This is the primary focus of my search.
3.  1st Biztalk sends an XML message to the 2nd Biztalk server.
4.  2nd Biztalk servers sends a response to the 1st Biztalk server ack'ing that the message was received.

What are the packet characteristics that I should be looking for?
What does the presence of the PSH, SYN, and ACK flags mean?

Thanks in advance,
