I'm trying to examine the UDP packets that I'm multicasting to (225.0.0.250
port 8123) and I keep getting messages that are flagged for
(udp.checksum_bad==1) error.

the app is telling me that my checksum is incorrect (0x4b35) and it should be
(0x975e)

the info block states that:
Bogus IP header length (0, must be at least 20)

I'm confused about why it is producing these errors.  My code is setting up the
Multicast socket properly, but something is happening to my packets.
