1146: TCP alternate checksum options.

HTML TXT PS PDF
Some members of the networking community have expressed interest in using checksum-algorithms with different error detection and correction properties than the standard TCP checksum. The option described in this memo provides a mechanism to negotiate the use of an alternate checksum at connection-establishment time, as well as a mechanism to carry additional checksum information for algorithms that utilize checksums that are longer than 16 bits.
