[dpdk-dev] UDP Checksum

Hi,
I'm seeing "UDP: bad checksum." messages(dmesg) for packets sent by my dpdk
app to a socket on a remote machine.
Looking at the packets the scum value is set, its just not what wireshark
expects.

When sending I'm setting these fields in the egress packets.

        pkt->pkt.vlan_macip.f.l2_len = sizeof(struct ether_hdr);

        pkt->pkt.vlan_macip.f.l3_len = sizeof(struct ipv4_hdr);

        pkt->ol_flags |= (PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM | PKT_TX_L4_MASK);
//PKT_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK;


I'm working with a 82599 VF.


Any thoughts? I'm not sure what else to check.
