--- Comment #2 from Andrey V. Elsukov <ae at FreeBSD.org> ---
This packet is generated by ipfw(4) to cause remote host to send the reply,
that will extend lifetime of the STATE, created by keep-state rule. Since
stateful ipfw doesn't track TCP window, it doesn't set this field in the TCP
header. Also it doesn't set any TCP options.
