Dear Jaime,

to find packets with incorrect checksum I'm using a Colorize
Filter to display the packets in red, for example. For me
that is very efficient.

Best regards
Michael

I was wondering if it made sense to put something on
the   col_info when a packet had an invalid checksum.
After sorting through gigs of trace files, I finally
addsted some col_info items into the udp/tcp/icmp4
files, and converted the adds to appends, and
commented out the clears. What I would like to know is
if anyone has any opinions one way or another on if
things like invalid checksums are important to make
more visible.

Just looking for comments.

Thanks!
