Re: [BEHAVE] UDP zero checksums and v4 to v6 translators



Hi,

A simple solution would IMHO be to complement to the UDP rule in IPv6
as follows:
- IPv6 hosts MUST create UDP datagrams with non-zero checksums.
(Nothing new here.)
- IPv6 hosts SHOULD accept UDP datagrams with zero checksum.
(Application of the classic principle "be strict in what you send,
tolerant in what you receive").
- IPv4 to IPv6 translators that receive UDP datagrams having zero
checksums MAY keep these checksums in translated datagrams.

as an individual, I prefer something along the lines of draft- fairhurst-6man-tsvwg-udptt instead.
