SIIT translation



Hi Eric/ folks,

 

As the ICMPv6 has a checksum which includes a pseudo header, though the ICMPv6 does not have the same, I think we cannot do SIIT (stateless translation) for fragmented ICMPv4 packets. We need to get all the fragements before we can find the checksum, hence it becomes stateful.

 

I think this seems to be missing in the RFC, though it talks about a similar case for UDP packet with checksum 0. Is my understanding correct?

 

Thanks,

Vishwas
