I have an instance where we are configuring extension headers, specifically routing and hop-by-hop with an ICMPv6 after the extension header. Ethereal decodes that same packet with a incorrect checksum (suggested correct 0xA3c4)(41924) AND a Malformed Packet ICMPv6. Other vendor's trace programs are giving me a GOOD frame indicator and no "bad" flag for the checksum (0xA3d3)(41939). My gut is to trust ethereal, however, I have not seen it in writing that the checksum of upperlayer protocols when daisy chained with IPv6 extension headers is supported. I am trying to force a bad checksum on that packet at this time to further investigate. Ideas? Is there anyone who would know for sure? thx! /m

It should. Have you seen a case where it doesn't? If so, that's a bug.
