Title : IPv6 UDP Checksum Considerations
Author(s) : G. Fairhurst, M. Westerlund
Filename : draft-ietf-6man-udpzero-01.txt
Pages : 26
Date : 2010-08-12
This document examines the role of the transport checksum when used
with IPv6, as defined in RFC2460. It presents a summary of the
trade-offs for evaluating the safety of updating RFC 2460 to permit
an IPv6 UDP endpoint to use a zero value in the checksum field to
indicate that no checksum is present. The document describes issues
and design principles that need to be considered when UDP is used
with IPv6 to support tunnel encapsulations and provides
recommendations.
