Receiving ICMP6 Checksum Errors

[Haisang Wu]

Dear George:
  I am afraid this is sent out from CERNET IPv6 Testbed in China, 
but  without any wicked intention. We have built tunnels with ETRI in 
Korea and now we are running BGP4+ between CERNETand ETRI
with Zebra, and the errors are spread out from the tunnel end point 
of ours.
  Sorry for the problems. I think this is the kernel defection, but could 
anyone give us some advice on how to deal with this? Just modifying
 the bgpd.conf or we have to rebuild the kernel? Thanks.
  Best
Haisang
