Description:alot of bad checksum udp packet in sip reply and rtp packets on linux 2.6.7, slackware 9.1 with different nic cards
sendto function is not working good and so packet are dropped by the router. My vigor 2600 always crash receiving bad udp packets so I changed the setsocketopt option adding no checksum. I will try to write ast_sendto function with SOCK_DGRAM and checksum calculation function

rtp.c

static int rtp_socket(void)
{
       int s;
       int cksum_flag = 1;           /* turn off UDP checksums */
       long flags;
       s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
       if (s > -1) {
               flags = fcntl(s, F_GETFL);
               fcntl(s, F_SETFL, flags | O_NONBLOCK);
setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_NO_CHECK, &cksum_flag,sizeof(cksum_flag));
       }
       return s;
}

well ast_sendto should be a SOCK_RAW function

That will require root priviledge.  This seems to be a linux issue, not an asterisk issue, or am I missing something?

I added a "rtpchecksum" option to rtp.conf to enable you to disable them
