[En-Nut-Discussion] IP Checksum calculation broken. Reenabled old algorithm for the meantime.

Hi Ulrich,

Great to have you in this thread.

The initial problem was, that IP checksum calculation failed on CM3. Ole re-enabled the legacy checksum algorithm _and_ set NUTMEM_ALIGNMENT back to 4, reverting r3196 in sys/types.h. Now we have a second issue.

1) Advanced checksum calculation is still broken and needs to be fixed, because the legacy version is too slow on 32-bit targets.
2) A decision needs to be made, whether the right alignment for CM3 is 1 or 4. Or may be 2?

What's your experience, advice on issue #2?

Regards,

Harald
