From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> Sending zero checksum is ok for TCP, but not for UDP.
UDPv6 receiver should by default drop a frame with a 0 checksum, and UDPv4 would not verify the checksum and might accept a corrupted packet. Simply replace such checksum by 0xffff, regardless of transport. This error was caught on SIT tunnels, but seems generic.
