17.6.7. Checksum Offload
Communication protocols such as TCP and UDP implement checksum fields, which help determine the integrity of data transmitted over a network. Because the most widespread use of Ethernet is to encapsulate TCP and UDP over IP datagrams, the EMAC has a Checksum Offload Engine (COE) to support checksum calculation and insertion in the transmit path, and error detection in the receive path. Supported offloading types:
- Transmit IP header checksum†
- Transmit TCP/UDP/ICMP checksum†
- Receive IP header checksum†
- Receive full checksum†
