I'm learning to use raw sockets, and im trying to prase out the tcp header data, but i can't seem to figure out what res1, ece, and cwr are. Through my networking book and google i know what the rest stand for, but can't seem to find anything on those three. Below is the tcphdr struct in my includes area. Ive commented the parts a bit as i was figureing out what they stood for.
struct tcphdr {
        __be16  source;
        __be16  dest;
        __be32  seq;
        __be32  ack_seq;
#if defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
        _u16   res1:4,
                doff:4,//tcp header length
                fin:1,//final
                syn:1,//synchronization
                rst:1,//reset
                psh:1,//push
                ack:1,//ack
                urg:1,// urge
                ece:1,
                cwr:1;
#elif defined(_BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
        __u16   doff:4,//tcp header length
                res1:4,
                cwr:1,
                ece:1,
                urg:1,//urge
                ack:1,//ack
                psh:1,//push
                rst:1,//reset
                syn:1,//synchronization
                fin:1;//final
#else
#error  "Adjust your  defines"
#endif
        __be16  window;
        __sum16 check;
        __be16  urg_ptr;
};
