Sorry, I wasn't clear.  VPP IPv4 supports IP update checksum. The IPv6
header has no checksum.  But why doesn't VPP support update checksum for
layer-4, e.g., udp/tcp/icmp?  A routed data plane may reply to certain
messages (e.g., icmp, tcp, gtpu echo) in the data plane and such replies
could use an update checksum.  If IPv4 VPP also does not support checksum
update for layer-4 , we should add it.

 

Thanks,

VPP IPv4 supports update checksum but IPv6 does not.  Why is that?  IPv6
only has a compute and verify checksum.
