I read the discussion in net-dev. Since IB packet has its own CRC (ICRC, VCRC). Is it a good idea to enable checksum unnecessary in a pure IB Fabrics for large MTU 64K. It requires some negotiation. Does your prototype implementation for large MTU requires both ends agreement? Practically it can be implemented, but I don't know what RFCs have defined.
