Not convinced at all. If IP source or destination address bits get
corrupted, a link-layer CRC will find it before the destination will
ever get the packet.
And if the link checksum isn't strong enough, there will be other
serious problems anyway, so a strong enough link checksum is an
independent requirement...
So +1 on Dino's remarks on this thread...
Yours,
Ran
