Figure 11. IPv4 Header (Little-Endian Order)
Note: Identification is incremented on each packet.
Flags Field Definition:
The Flags field is defined below. Note that hardware does not evaluate or change these bits.
MF - More Fragments
NF - No Fragments
Reserved
The 82575 does TCP segmentation not IP fragmentation. IP fragmentation might occur in transit
through a network’s infrastructure.
Figure 12. IPv6 TCP Header (Traditional Representation)
Figure 13. IPv6 Header (Little Endian Order)
A TCP or UDP frame uses a 16 bit wide one’s complement checksum. The checksum word is computed
on the outgoing TCP or UDP header and payload, and on the Pseudo Header. Details on checksum
computations are provided in Section 3.8.
Note: TCP and UDP over IPv6 requires the use of checksum, where it is optional for UDP over
IPv4.
