7.10.1. Wireshark checksum validation

7.10.2. Checksum offloading

[Note] Note
  • Turn off the checksum offloading in the network driver, if this option is available.
  • Turn off checksum validation of the specific protocol in the Wireshark preferences. Recent releases of Wireshark disable checksum validation by default due to the prevalance of offloading in modern hardware and operating systems.
