Dan,

if you could forward this on to freebsd-net I would be most grateful.

I have completed most of the code to implement GRE as a regular
interface driver under 4.4-STABLE using the cloner interface. This
has all worked fine in local tests. Tonight, whilst testing with
a remote site, we noticed that the encapsulating IP datagram header
around the GRE header does not have any header checksum.

I have checked, checked and re-checked the m->m_len, m->m_pkthdr.len,
m_pullup() results et al and can find nothing out of the ordinary.

This is driving me mad right now, can anybody shed any light on the
problem?

Regards,
Bruce.
