Another point to note is this. In the case that a packet checksum/hash
is used, a corrupted packet gets dropped on its way, whereas without
such a checksum/hash it is dropped at the destination. Thus additional
network resources are consumed. All this is assuming that layer 2 CRC
has been circumvented.
Router CPU is also a network resource and would be consumed if checksum
was required - adding to overall latency, possibly additional hardware
costs...
