If a network interface uses TCP checksum offload the TCP dissector will flag
every outgoing packet as invalid. I think this is stupid, because outgoing
could be considered to not have checksums errors.
The TCP dissector should provide a feature for not computing the checksum of
segments which origins from the localhost.
I have a lot of packet captures were basically every other packet is considered
having a invalid checksum, and I don’t want to disable the check completely
since then any incoming packet which actually has an invalid checksum is
considered valid, which it's definitely not.
