[dpdk-dev] UDP Checksum

[Alex Markuze]

I was setting both ip and udp scum fields to 0. PKT_TX_UDP_CKSUM ==
PKT_TX_L4_MASK = 0x6000.

I was not aware of the get_ipv4_psd_sum(ipv4_hdr);
And I'm quite frankly surprised the HW doesn't already do this. Farther
more I don't remember kernel drivers messing with
L3 Headers(bnx2x/mlx4). Is this true for all PMDs that do scum offloads?

I will give it a try now.
