Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] [PATCH] DCCP: variable-length checksums

From: "Francesco Fondelli" <francesco.fondelli@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 11:46:45 +0100
Hi,

please find attached a patch file against svn rev. 19883. This is Gerrit Renker
code which:

      * makes checksum computation dependent
        upon the header CsCov field (cf. RFC 4340, 5.1)
      * removes the case where checksums are zero
        (unlike UDP/packet-udp, from which the code stems,
         zero checksums are illegal in DCCP (as in TCP))
      * fixes a minor typo - missing bitshift of the
        CCVal field

Moreover the wiki page has been updated, please have a look at:
http://wiki.wireshark.org/DCCP and new traces added.

I have used and fuzz-tested this code.
Please check it in.

thanks,
Ciao
FF
