[ovs-dev] [PATCH 3/9] tunneling: Fix location of GRE checksums.

Jesse Gross jesse at nicira.com
Mon Mar 30 22:14:46 UTC 2015


The GRE checksum is a 16 bit field stored in a 32 bit option (the
rest is reserved). The current code treats the checksum as a 32-bit
field and places it in the right place for little endian systems but
not big endian. This fixes the problem by storing the 16 bit field
directly.
