TCP/IP checksum offload on transmitted packets

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I see that for received IP packets, one can set sk_buff ip_summed to
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to suppress software checksum calculation.
There does not appear to be a facility to suppress software checksum
calculation
for transmitted IP packets. Am I missing something here?

There does not appear to be a facility to offload TCP or UDP checksum
calculations,
for either transmitted or received packets, to hardware. Is this the case?
