Computing the internet checksum

Abstract: This memo discusses methods for efficiently computing the Internet checksum that is used by the standard Internet protocols IP, UDP, and TCP.An efficient checksum implementation is critical to good performance. As advances in implementation techniques streamline the rest of the protocol processing, the checksum computation becomes one of the limiting factors on TCP performance, for example. It is usually approapriate to carefully hand-craft the checksum routine, exploiting every machine-dependent trick possibl… Show more

“…PROPERTIES Internet Checksum is used by different standard protocols (Internet protocol (IP), transmission control protocol (TCP), UDP) for error detection [30]. Internet checksum, which is a fixed-length tag added to a message at the transmission side, enables the receiver to verify the integrity of the delivered message by recomputing the tag and comparing it with the tag that was sent.…”

“…The Internet checksum is a 16-bit field within the protocol header, and is defined as one's complement of the one's complement sum of all the 16-bit words in the computation data [30]. More specifically, the Internet checksum is calculated at the transmission side as follows:…”
