Explanation

Man-in-the-middle Attacks, Oversized Packet Attacks, and Fragmented Packet Attacks are typical IP network attacks (see ISC2 Study Guide, Chapter 4, Module 1, under Security of the Network). Side Channel Attacks are non-invasive attacks that extract information from devices (typically devices running cryptographic algorithms), and therefore do not aim at IP networks.
