I know some products and implementations that do not do ethernet error
correction...
Cheers.

Subject: TCP/IP check sum
Hi,
On a etherent frame CRC is used for error detection.
For TCP/IP frames frame check is done by using 16bit
1's complemet addtion.
Why is TCP/IP frame check required when the same is
verified by the ethernet MAC?
What is then the motivation of providing TCP/IP
checksum overload by some products?
Waiting for responses.
thanking you,
jacob
