Sure about that? From RFC 760: That is, it should be careful to send well-formed datagrams, but should accept any datagram that it can interpret (e.g., not object to technical errors where the meaning is still clear).

Many UDP encapsulations of IP packets do not recalculate the outer UDP checksum. It's a good thing we accept these datagrams with technical errors. Paul
