ain the desired results for the types of packets being transferred. Most of the time this will be TCP/IP traffic.<p>
TCP/IP and UDP/IP frames contain separate checksums for the IP header and UDP/TCP header+data. With this hardware implementation, the IP header checksum cannot be offloaded. Many stacks that support offloading will compute the IP header if required and use hardware to compute the UDP/TCP header+data checksum. There are other complications concerning the IP pseudo header that must be taken int
