Hi,

Is anyone working on implementing UDP lite in FreeBSD? If not,
I'd like to work on it.


Hi,

Can you give us more context on this UDP lite thing? Is this an
RFC/IETF thing or???

Thanks,
George

George:

It allows you to do a partial checksum on a
udp packet.. the idea behind it is for when
we have link layers that can delivered damaged packets
we can then feed the packets to media players.. that can
still use the data.. even though damaged.. I believe
the there are a couple of codecs that are of this
venue... at one time I even knew a name or two.. but
that was a while ago :-)
