  Normalizing Inline Traffic
  –
the IPv6 Hop Limit field when 
Normalize IPv6
 is enabled
The system normalizes the packet by changing its TTL or Hop Limit value to the value set for this 
option when the packet value is less than 
Minimum TTL
. Setting this option to a value of 0, or any value 
less than 
Minimum TTL
, disables the option. The system assumes a value of 0 when the field is empty.
Normalize IPv4
Enables normalization of IPv4 traffic. Se
 for information on 
specific IPv4 normalizations. The system also normalizes the TTL field as needed when this option 
is enabled and the value set for 
Reset TTL
 enables TTL normalization. You can also enable 
Normalize 
Don’t Fragment Bits
 and 
Normalize Reserved Bits
 when this option is enabled.
Normalize Don't Fragment Bit
Clears the single-bit Don’t Fragment subfield of the IPv4 Flags header field. Enabling this option 
allows a downstream router to fragment packets if necessary instead of dropping them; enabling this 
option can also prevent evasions based on crafting packets to be dropped. You must enable 
Normalize 
IPv4
 to select this option.
Normalize Reserved Bit
Clears the single-bit Reserved subfield of the IPv4 Flags header field. You would typically enable 
this option. You must enable 
Normalize IPv4
 to select this option.
Normalize TOS Bit
Clears the one-byte Differentiated Services field, formerly known as Type of Service. You must 
enable 
Normalize IPv4
 to select this option.
Normalize Excess Payload
Truncates packets with excess payload to the datagram length specified in the IP header plus the 
Layer 2 (for example, Ethernet) header, but does not truncate below the minimum frame length. You 
must enable 
Normalize IPv4
 to select this option.
Normalize IPv6
Sets all Option Type fields in the Hop-by-Hop Options and Destination Options extension headers 
to 00 (Skip and continue processing). The system also normalizes the Hop Limit field as needed 
when this option is enabled and the value set for 
Reset TTL
 enables hop limit normalization.
Normalize ICMPv4
Clears the 8-bit Code field in Echo (Request) and Echo Reply messages in ICMPv4 traffic.
Normalize ICMPv6
Clears the 8-bit Code field in Echo (Request) and Echo Reply messages in ICMPv6 traffic.
Normalize TCP
Enables normalization of TCP traffic. See 
specific TCP normalizations. When this option is enabled, you can also enable 
Normalize Urgent 
Pointer
Normalize TCP Payload
Normalize TCP Excess Payload
, and 
Exploit Congestion Payload
, and 
configure 
Allow These TCP Options
. You should ensure that the TCP stream preprocessor is enabled 
when you enable this option; see 
.
