Hi,
Thanks a lot for the reply !
Yes I have checked those examples and had set all those flags. But IP
checksum started working after commenting off the txq_flags from
the pktgen.c file's tx_conf .

And I added the following flag to calculate the tcp checksum.

m->ol_flags  |= PKT_TX_TCP_CKSUM

its calculating the TCP checksum but turning out to be wrong checksum.

Thanks
Banashankar
