Subject: [RFC net-next v2 14/18] net: ipxlat: add ICMP informational translation
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2026 11:25:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261024092532.172005-15-ralf@mandelbit.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261024092532.172005-1-ralf@mandelbit.com>
Translate ICMP echo requests and replies in both directions, including
incremental conversion of complete checksums and reseeding of partial
checksums. Decline ICMP errors until quoted-packet translation is
available.
Signed-off-by: Ralf Lici <ralf@mandelbit.com>

Changes since RFC v1 https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260319151230.655687-12-ralf@mandelbit.com/
- Remove the ICMPv6 pseudo-header seed before producing a
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL informational ICMPv4 packet. (Sashiko)
