During a snoop session on a 280R with solaris 9 and network interface eri0, I noticed that the TCP checksum field of every outgoing packet was incorrect. This happened also on a Netra 120 with solaris 8 and on the same machine with solaris 9 (obviusly with eri0). I tried also with tcpdump, but the result was the same. The same packet snooped on the network has the correct checksum value. I believe that something happens between the snoop point on the machine and the network interface eri0 output. I also tried on other machines: on a Sun 450R with solaris 9 (but with hme0) the TCP checksum snooped locally is correct, also on a Sun 250 with solaris 8 and hme0 is correct. With this last result I believe that the responsible is the eri0 driver. It is true? If I want to snoop locally *but* with the correct checksum value, how can I do? Any suggestion?
