I didn't. But that is verbatim what my tutor said, and I can't make head or
tail of it. Control bits are the bits in "the PCI of a TCP-segment".
I am doing a course on networks, and for the first assignment we have been
thrown in in the very deep end of Wireshark. To make things harder, on the
face of it our tutor speaks good English - except that it is often impossible
to work out what he means, because he misuses words, and has no idea of the
subtleties of the English language.
I was on the point of giving up anyway. It is just impossible. If a load of
experienced Wireshark users don't know what he means, I certainly don't. :-(
I am the only native speaker on the course. I suspect that it is in fact a
disadvantage to be a native speaker.
Thanks for replying - I appreciate it.
