New Issue 249: IPv6 UDP Lite Issue: When UDP is run over IPv4, the checksum field may be set to zero (0). When run over IPv6, the checksum field MUST NOT be set to zero. The cost of computing the checksum, at line rate, can significantly impact AC performance Proposal is to utilize UDP-Lite (RFC3828), which does not require a full checksum Question: Do we allow or mandate the use of UDP-Lite? Question: If yes, is it restricted to IPv6 (vs. IPv4)? NAT systems do not recognize UDP-Lite, and there are no IPv6 NATs deployed today. |
