The idea is, that the NAPT44 is done before the first stateless NAT64
process, so this is a completely separate issue. Of course, recalculation
is mandatory in the NAPT44 part. I am just discussing the stateless
NAT64 part.

Simon? How was the conclusion, "that the transport checksum does not 
need to be modified", reached?

Good point. Anyone?

Thanks,
