In your previous mail you wrote:
I strongly recommend that people read section 1 of RFC 2765. Here is some of
the relevant text:
Fragmented IPv4 UDP packets that do not contain a UDP checksum (i.e.
the UDP checksum field is zero) are not of significant use over
wide-areas in the Internet and will not be translated by the
translator. An informal trace [MILLER] in the backbone showed that
out of 34,984,468 IP packets there were 769 fragmented UDP packets
with a zero checksum. However, all of them were due to malicious or
broken behavior; a port scan and first fragments of IP packets that
are not a multiple of 8 bytes.
=> G. Miller message is 10 year old so should be even more valid today.
Thanks for the quote, IMHO the subject can be closed (again).
