Question: Recall that we the Internet checksum being used in both transport-layer segment (in UDP and TCP headers, Figures 3.7 and 3.29 respectively) and in network-layer

Recall that we the Internet checksum being used in both transport-layer segment (in UDP and TCP headers, Figures 3.7 and 3.29 respectively) and in network-layer data-grarns (IP header, Figure 4.16). Now consider a transport layer segment encapsulated in an IP data-gram. Are the check-sums in the segment header and data-gram header computed over any common bytes in the IP data-gram? Explain your answer.


Figure 3.7

32 bits Dest. port # Source port # Checksum Length Application data (message)


Figure 3.29

32 bits Source port # Dest port # Sequence number Acknowledgment number Header Unused 3 Receive window length Internet c


Figure 4.16

32 bits Dest. port # Source port # Checksum Length Application data
