TCP connections

tcp_incoming is non-zero if the packet is the SYN segment of an incoming TCP connection. Note that ``incoming'' is from the perspective of the classifier, i.e. tcp_incoming is non-zero if the connection is being set up in the same direction in which the current packet is traveling, as shown in figure .

The macro not_tcp_incoming is the negation of tcp_incoming.
