hi all, i have a basic doubt w.r.tthe checksum computation for an ip header that iam constructing. currently i am following the steps given below: STEP 1. construct header (with zero in checksum) STEP 2. convert 16-bit values in header to network byte order (ip addresses are already in network byte order) STEP 3. compute checksum on the header STEP 4. convert checksum to network byte order and send the packet i am not sure whether i need to do STEP 4 above. could some one clarify please? thanks, ravi. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
