Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [ethereal-users] UDP/ICMP Checksums

[Markus Schaber <markus.schaber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I use Ethereal on Linux for developing/debugging a new tcp/ip
implementation for a new OS that is developed at the University of Ulm
(Germany).

Now I noticed that it correctly shows the checksum-headers for IP, UDP
and ICMP, but it seems that it only checks the IP checksum for
correctnes, and doesn't check the correctnes of the UDP and ICMP
checksum (I couldn't test TCP so far).

Now I would like to know whether I got this correct, and how easy it is
to add this. I could try to fix it myself when it's a matter of one or
two hours (I haven't looked at the source yet). But when it shows to be
a huge effort, I wouldn't be worth for me. Maybe this would be a topic
for the wish list in this case - if anyone else is interested in this?

PS: I just subscribed to this list, so you can answer on the list.

Yours,
Markus
