Just checked some of my traces.

So I found the next:

  • TCP checksums are always nonzero;
  • UDP checksums are always nonzero too;
  • IP checksums sometimes are zeroed, sometimes are not.

It would be nice to hear where these checksums are coming from. Probably it depends on TCP stack implementation.

As for high volume I don't see any problem with that, there might be tons of such packets (basically all of the sent packets containing TCP).

So I found the next:

  • All TCP checksums I've seen are always nonzero;
  • All UDP checksums I've seen are always nonzero too;
  • IP checksums sometimes are zeroed, sometimes are not.

Just checked some of my traces.

So I found the next:next. Among the packets with wrong checksum:

  • All TCP checksums I've seen are nonzero;
  • All UDP checksums I've seen are nonzero too;
  • IP checksums sometimes are zeroed, sometimes are not.

It would be nice to hear where these checksums fields are coming from. Probably it depends on TCP stack implementation.
