How to decode TCP Connection flags

 

How to decode TCP Flags?

It is quite simple:

FRPA = FIN, RST, PSH, ACK
A    = ACK
PA   = PSH, ACK
FPA  = FIN, PSH, ACK
SPA  = SYN, PSH, ACK
RPA  = RST, PSH, ACK

Use the following as your guide:

CWR – Congestion Window Reduced (CWR) flag is set by the sending host to indicate that it received a TCP segment with the ECE flag set. 
ECE (ECN-Echo) - indicate that the TCP peer is ECN capable during 3-way handshake
URG – indicates that the URGent pointer field is significant
ACK – indicates that the ACKnowledgment field is significant
PSH – Push function
RST – Reset the connection
SYN – Synchronize sequence numbers
FIN – No more data from sender
