The outer header checksum (e.g. that in UDP or GRE) is enabled in packets and, with some additional meta information, a receiver is able to deduce the checksum to be set in an encapsulated packet. Effectively this offloads the computation of the inner checksum. Enabling the outer checksum in encapsulation has the additional advantage that it covers more of the packet than the inner checksum including the encapsulation headers.}, }
