Minimum PDU Size & CRC.

I'm trying to reassemble ISCSI PDUs from data from a TCP offload engine.
During congestion, an initiator may send 1 byte in the TCP payload. I wish
to know whether an initiator can send unpadded 1 byte in a TCP payload. When
it comes to data intensive applications, people generally check/generate
CRC. I am not sure whether it's the application that needs to check whether
the data received had proper CRC. I am talking from a hardware perspective.

I'd greatly appreciate your help.
