[comp.dcom.lans] RIP broadcast checksums

ccdw@hippo.ru.ac.za (Dave Wilson) (05/22/91)

PCRoute 2.1 appears to be not using the UDP checksum field.  This may be
causing (or related to) a problem we are having with strange data
appearing in routing broadcasts.  Does anyone know if a later version of
PCRoute is available which does use the checksum?  Our slip links are
running at 19200 (with an XT machine supporting dual 19200 slip lines,
and an ethernet interface).  If data corruption does occur (because the
XT cannot cope with those interface speeds?), how will it be picked up?
