Re: TCP header reserved bits

[Geoffrey Serrao <gserrao () sourcefire com>]

YM,

It looks like you can still use 'flags:2' to check if the low order
reserved bits field in a TCP header have been set.

229             case '1': /* reserved bit flags */
230             case 'c':
231             case 'C':
232                 idx->tcp_flags |= R_CWR; /* Congestion Window Reduced,
RFC 3168 */
233                 break;
234
235             case '2': /* reserved bit flags */
236             case 'e':
237             case 'E':
238                 idx->tcp_flags |= R_ECE; /* ECN echo, RFC 3168 */
239                 break;




> From the online snort manual under the 'flags' keyword section:

The reserved bits '1' and '2' have been replaced with 'C' and 'E',
respectively, to match RFC 3168, "The Addition of Explicit Congestion
Notification (ECN) to IP". The old values of '1' and '2' are still valid
for the flag keyword, but are now deprecated.
