Abstract:
   This document provides an applicability statement for the use of UDP
   transport checksums with IPv6.  It defines recommendations and
   requirements for the use of IPv6 UDP datagrams with a zero UDP
   checksum.  It describes the issues and design principles that need to
   be considered when UDP is used with IPv6 to support tunnel
   encapsulations and examines the role of the IPv6 UDP transport
   checksum.  The document also identifies issues and constraints for
   deployment on network paths that include middleboxes.  An appendix
   presents a summary of the trade-offs that were considered in
   evaluating the safety of the update to RFC 2460 that updates use of
   the UDP checksum with IPv6.
