Hi, I was trying to build an iptables extension that mangles IPv4 / UDP packets. I want to create a stateless NAT mechanism to mangle either source or destination similar to RAWDNAT/RAWSNAT targets of xtables-addons (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/xtables-addons.8.html)
However, I wanted to offload the checksum calculation to the NIC, if the feature is supported. I have been looking into the kernel files, skb, ip_forward modules and so on, but I couldn't get a clear picture on how to leverage the offloading to save some CPU cycles and compare both approaches, with and without the offloading. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks!
