Unfortunately our e-mails crossed paths...  I'll reproduce
my comments on v4 here.  I'm sure you're going to grow tired
of this feedback.


I see one thing that I think might be a bug in the third
patch, but maybe I'm mistaken, and you can explain why.

I tested the code you supplied me last week, and with a
bug fix applied I found they worked for:
  IPA v3.5.1, IPv4 in loopback, checksum enabled and not
  IPA v4.2, IPv6 using LTE, checksum enabled and not
Both of the above tested ICMP, UDP, and TCP.  I will retest
with version 5 of this series.

I did not test with IPA v4.5+, which is unfortunately
the main user of this new code.  I will try to do so
with your updated code, and if all testing passes I'll
send a message with "Tested-by" for you to add to your
patches.
