  [Questions about computing checksums 32 bits at a time and the
   same way on both big- and little-endian machines.]

See RFC 1071 for a discussion of these and other properties of the
Internet checksum.  Note that the formula for incremental checksum
updating in this RFC is incorrect--see RFC 1624 for a correct version.
