+"""An option in the last two octets of a HOPOPT or IPv6-Opts header fails in-library.
+
+GitHub issue #1195: an ``SMF_DPD`` option of ``Opt Data Len`` zero, placed in
+the last two octets of the header (``3b00010200000800``), raised a bare
+:exc:`TypeError` from
+:func:`~pcapkit.protocols.schema.internet.hopopt.smf_i_dpd_id_len`. The option
+starts with a :class:`~pcapkit.corekit.fields.misc.ForwardMatchField` three
+octets wide, which came back one octet short at the end of the stream, yet
+:meth:`Schema.unpack <pcapkit.protocols.schema.schema.Schema.unpack>` rewound
+the full three. The option was therefore re-read from the preceding ``PadN``
+padding octet, as a ``Pad1`` option, so ``len`` was skipped and left as
+:data:`~pcapkit.corekit.fields.field.NO_VALUE`.
+
+Every case builds its own octets in memory and reads no capture. The classes
+are imported inside each test, after
+:func:`~tests._support.reimport_once_per_class`, so that they belong to the
+:mod:`pcapkit` import that is live when the test runs.
