Are you sure that a UDP zero checksum is not working for IPv6 packets? We are using it here without any issues with VXLAN tunnels. Yes, the original RFC did not allow UDP zero checksums in IPv6 packets, but I believe this has changed: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6936 (https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-6man-udpzero-01.html) Regards, Linus
