Hi, although it has been ignored in the past ROHC specifications, I agree with Magnus point. But as Mark stated, this will _usually_ be checked by the receiving interface. Maybe we can re-phrase the text a bit so that we don't say that the _compressor_ has to verify the checksum and instead write that: "...MUST NOT compress packets with an invalid IPv4 checksum" That way, most deployments won't have to do anything as the compressor will know that the checksum has already been verified by another layer and we don't risk breaking compression transparency. /Kristofer
