Title : IPv6 UDP Checksum Considerations
Author(s) : G. Fairhurst, M. Westerlund
Filename : draft-ietf-6man-udpzero-00.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 2010-05-08
This document examines the role of the transport checksum when used
with IPv6, as defined in RFC2460. It presents a summary of the
trade-offs for evaluating the safety of updating RFC 2460 to permit
an IPv6 UDP endpoint to use a zero value in the checksum field to
indicate that no checksum is present. The document describes issues
and design principles that need to be considered and provides
recommendations.
