This is not accurate. Please write it after OVS' description of it, on
ovs-fields.7 (not saying to copy it):

inv (0x10)
       The  state is invalid, meaning that the connection tracker couldn’t iden‐
       tify the connection. This flag is a catch-all for problems in the connec‐
       tion or the connection tracker, such as:

       •      L3/L4  protocol  handler is not loaded/unavailable. With the Linux
              kernel datapath, this  may  mean  that  the  nf_conntrack_ipv4  or
              nf_conntrack_ipv6 modules are not loaded.

       •      L3/L4 protocol handler determines that the packet is malformed.

       •      Packets are unexpected length for protocol.

Something like: The packet couldn't be associated to a connection.
