TCP OPTION NUMBERS

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) has provision for optional
header fields identified by an option kind field.  Options 0 and 1 are
exactly one octet which is their kind field.  All other options have
their one octet kind field, followed by a one octet length field,
followed by length-2 octets of option data.
