Synapse does not do checksums. It is job for underlaying Winsock layer. Synapse working with payload only. So, you send 10 bytes by Synapse. Synapse pass 10 bytes into winsock (or other sockat layer interface), and winsock made UDP datagram with all needed headers and checksums. On Receive Winsock read datagram, check checksum. And if all is OK, then it pass to Synapse 10 bytes of data. Sometimes you can control how Winsock handle checksums by setsockopt call. But it is depended on platform and operating system version.
