TCP flags (tcpflags)

Description

Returns the flags or control bits value of a TCP segment. This field contains the following 9 1-bit flags in this order:

NS	ECN-nonce concealment protection (experimental)
CWR	Congestion Window Reduced. Set by the sender to indicate that it received a TCP segment with the ECE flag set and had responded in the congestion control mechanism
ECE	ECN-Echo. Has a dual-mode depending on the value of the SYN flag: SYN set (1) → the TCP peer is ECN capable SYN clear (0) → a packet with Congestion Experienced flag set (ECN=11) in IP header received during normal transmission. This serves as an indication of network congestion to the TCP sender
URG	Indicates that the Urgent pointer field is significant
ACK	Indicates that the Acknowledgment field is significant. All packets after the initial SYN packet sent by the client should have this flag set
PSH	Push function. Asks to push the buffered data to the receiving application
RST	Reset the connection
SYN	Synchronize sequence numbers. Only the first packet sent from each end should have this flag set
FIN	Last package from the sender
