In our last issue we took a look at the layer 3 or IP header of TCP/IP packets (you can see that issue here: Securitypronews.com - 11.06). This issue will involve a very similar discussion with the difference being that we will be looking at the layer 4 (or TCP or UDP) header construction.

Checksum - bit 48-63. The checksum is the same kind of checksum as used in the TCP header, except that it contains a different set of data. In other words, it is a one's complement of the one's complement sum of parts of the IP header, the whole UDP header, theUDP data and padded with zeroes at the end when necessary.

ICMP, TCP, UDP Packet Headers Analysis ... Checksum :- Checksum is the 16-bit one's complement of the one's complement sum of a pseudo header of information from the IP header, the UDP header, and the data, padded with zero octets at the end (if necessary) to make a multiple of two octets.

Comparative analysis - TCP Vs. UDP ... It is described in STD-6/RFC-768 and provides a connectionless host-to-host communication path. UDP has minimal overhead:; each packet on the network is composed of a small header and user data. It is called a UDP datagram.
