We turned off TCP and UDP checksum verification a few years ago: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=24778 (based on the date, this probably first showed up in version 1.2) But this reminds me: sometimes I see IP checksum offloading causing problems now, which we do still check by default. We should probably disable this verification by default as well. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
