You might have to swap the sum before returning it to the caller.
As i looked on the Fletcher checksum, it seems that you cannot just swap the result instead of swapping the checked data. > Quagga does NOT do what BIRD does and it works as it should. Berhaps Quagga stores the LSAs in the network endianity (big endian) and BIRD stores the LSAs in the host endianity? -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
