How many bytes have you changed?
is it possible that some of the values have already been ntohs()'d
or something similar?
rather than recalculate the whole packet, just update the exisitng
value.
there is an rfc for this but it took me a while to get
the code right in C on a 386. The trick is getting the 1s complement
arithmetic right.
#define FIXSUM16(c, op, np) \
do { \
(c) -= (u_int16_t) ~*((u_int16_t *) (op)); \
if ((c) < 0) { \
(c) += 0xffff; \
} \
(c) -= (u_int16_t) *((u_int16_t *) (np)); \
if ((c) < 0) { \
(c) += 0xffff; \
} \
} while (0)
