    For some time now snort has been logging 'Tiny Fragments' coming from 
    several different addresses.  Here is a sample:
    
    Packet 1
    TIME:   10:04:55.405457
    LINK:   00:00:0C:46:5C:D1 -> 00:E0:1E:8E:31:71 type=IP
      IP:   62.32.156.41 -> 130.216.112.2 hlen=20 TOS=48 dgramlen=20 id=5D09
            MF/DF=1/1 frag=0 TTL=98 proto=TCP cksum=CE6E
     TCP:   port 0 -> 0 seq=0000000000 ack=0000000000
            hlen=0 (data=0) UAPRSF=000000 wnd=28 cksum=50A9 urg=59666
    DATA:   <No data>
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Packet 2
    TIME:   10:04:55.481006 (0.075549)
    LINK:   00:00:0C:46:5C:D1 -> 00:E0:1E:8E:31:71 type=IP
      IP:   62.32.156.41 -> 130.216.112.2 hlen=20 TOS=48 dgramlen=20 id=5D12
            MF/DF=1/1 frag=0 TTL=98 proto=TCP cksum=CE65
     TCP:   port 0 -> 0 seq=0000000000 ack=0000000000
            hlen=0 (data=0) UAPRSF=000000 wnd=28 cksum=0F59 urg=30577
    DATA:   <No data>
    
    Note More Fragments and Don't fragment are both set to 1??
    
    The packets arrive in pairs, both to the same destination address.
    
    Some sources send packets to just one destination others send them
    to many.
    
    When I look in the argus logs I see a single RST packet and argus does
    not report that it was fragmented.
    
    Any idea what is going on?
