Abstract:
   The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) uses a 32-bit
   checksum in the common header of each packet to provide some level of
   data integrity.  When some method used by SCTP provides already the
   same or a higher level of data integrity, computing this checksum
   does not provide any additional protection, but does require
   computing resources.  This document provides a simple extension to
   SCTP allowing to save these computing resources by using the constant
   0 as a checksum in a backwards compatible way.
