Re: PROTO=TCP INCOMPLETE

This is an ICMP Type 3 message. That type of message is sent when the
destination address is unreachable. The part of the log in brackets is the
IP header and the first 8 bytes after the IP header of the packet that could
not reach its destination. It says TCP INCOMPLETE because the full TCP
header is 20 bytes, but only 8 were there.

Subject: PROTO=TCP INCOMPLETE


Can anyone explain me the log bellow?
