If I'm looking on the correct RoCE spec section (A17.3.1.2.3 PAYLOAD LENGTH).
It doesn't include headers but does include ICRC.

The section "5.2.13 PAYLOAD" in the IBTA spec says that:
"C5-8: All packets of an IBA message that contain a payload shall fill the
payload to the full path MTU except the last (or only) packet of the message."

This is why headers aren't included.
