Re: [patch nf-next] IPVS: ICMPv6 checksum calculation

I just replied to thank for his idea then, as he gived me some ideas
on how to manipulate
checksum. I tested the code today, but it doesn't seem to work. (I just wrote a
netfilter module and hooked the code on local_out , then ping6 the
address on another PC,
It failed.). I'll find out why.
