Subject: TCP checksum calculation
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2005 15:52:34 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.58.0501201541510.13444@chrome.njit.edu> (raw)

Hi,

I have written a module that changes IP addrs and TCP port values. After
changing these fields, I am able to recalculate the IP checksum  within
the module. To recalculate the TCP checksum, I wrote a new function in
tcp_ipv4.c which is very similar to tcp_v4_send_check(). The only
difference is that, my function does not use the sock parameter and gets
the saddr and daddr from sk_buff. I call this function before the
following piece of code in tcp_v4_rcv()

if ((skb->ip_summed != CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY &&
             tcp_v4_checksum_init(skb) < 0))
                goto bad_packet;

However I am still getting a bad tcp checksum error. Does anyone know what
I am missing and point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Rahul.
