The TAHI correspondent node tests CN-6-4-1 (Processing in upper layer
- Echo Checksum) failed for me in the 2.6.32 kernel.  It appears that
the Linux kernel is replying the ICMP echo request in
icmpv6_echo_reply without much checking.  Is this an intentional
non-conformance to RFC3775 section 9.3.1?

It appears that skb->ip_summed is always 1 (CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY).
I'm using e1000e.  Looking at the driver, there is a checksum offload
hardware.  I think the code is doing frame check on the entire
Ethernet packet.  Since no error was found, it assume everything
inside is correct.
# ethtool -K ethX rx off

Does that help?  Does using a different NIC help?
ethtool did not help.

I tried to run the test with a different NIC, but I keep getting

Brian,

Oops, set the Link0 in nut.def to the wrong value.  However, I'm still
getting the same failure with different NIC.  I'll start looking into
the code.  Please let me know your test results.

Thanks,

Steve
