Plus, packaging as an RFC2675 does not make the parcel eligible for transport over an actual network Interface because there are insufficient integrity checks.
RFC2675 notes this and kicks the problem upwards: " Note: The 16 bit checksum used by UDP and TCP becomes less accurate as the length of the data being checksummed is increased.
