That's a pretty vague question. In what context? What protocol are you
talking about?

If you're talking about TCP, in a reset packet, the RST bit in the header
is set. In an Ack packet the ACK bit is set.

Iam talking in the sense of programming, when received a packet in my

packet is a RST packet
