Checksum action in tc(8)            Linux           Checksum action in tc(8)

NAME         top

       csum - checksum update action

SYNOPSIS         top

       tc ... action csum UPDATE

       UPDATE := TARGET [ UPDATE ]

       TARGET := { ip4h | icmp | igmp | tcp | udp | udplite | sctp | SWEETS
               }

       SWEETS := { and | or | + }

DESCRIPTION         top

       The csum action triggers checksum recalculation of specified packet
       headers. It is commonly used to fix incorrect checksums after the
       pedit action has modified the packet content.

OPTIONS         top

       TARGET Specify which headers to update: IPv4 header (ip4h), ICMP
              header (icmp), IGMP header (igmp), TCP header (tcp), UDP
              header (udp), UDPLite header (udplite) or SCTP header (sctp).

       SWEETS These are merely syntactic sugar and ignored internally.

EXAMPLES         top

       The following performs stateless NAT for incoming packets from
       192.0.2.100 to new destination 198.51.100.1. Assuming these are UDP
       packets, both IP and UDP checksums have to be recalculated:

              # tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress handle ffff:
              # tc filter add dev eth0 prio 1 protocol ip parent ffff: \
                   u32 match ip src 192.0.2.100/32 flowid :1 \
                   action pedit munge ip dst set 198.51.100.1 pipe \
                   csum ip and udp
