  • For the first IPv4 TCP fragment (its IP offset field==0), if its TCP header is less than the minimum IPv4 TCP header allowed size.

  • For the first IPv6 TCP fragment (its IP offset field==0), if its TCP header is less than the minimum IPv6 TCP header allowed size.

  • If its IP offset field==1 (for IPv4 only).
