Do you mean what to do in the case of an atomic packet?

Per RFC:
   In atomic datagrams, the IPv4 ID field has no meaning; thus, it can
   be set to an arbitrary value, i.e., the requirement for non-repeating
   IDs within the source address/destination address/protocol tuple is
   no longer required for atomic datagrams:

You can just set it to 0, or any value we feel like.
