It is altogether possible to create a transport that doesn't do anything
to checksum, encrypt or protect the IP address that appear in the IP
header. SCTP is one example, as I understand it.
Sure, I do share this understanding.
But this was not the point. (I don't see why performing UDP checksum
adjustment in the UDP header rather than in the IP layer would have any
adverse effect on SCTP, or on any other non UDP/TCP transport.)
