Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] No indication about UDP checksum

Hi, Jaap, 

Thanks for your reply!

But the content of Checksum is not 0x0000. The output is as follows:
	Checksum: 0xd87e
		Good Checksum: False
		Bad Checksum: False

I can't figure out whether the checksum is correct or not. Lots of other packets' checksum are not zero either and the result is similar.

Thanks,
Yuxin

Hi,

In UDP the checksum is optional. So if it's set to 0x0000 that means it's not calculated by the sender and cannot be checked by the receiver.
For Wireshark that results in "Checksum: 0x0000 (none)" and it can't be neither good or bad, since there's is no checksum.

Thanx,
Jaap
