Hi 

one would say that the checksum in UDP ( 2 bytes) is used for verifying the UDP packet (header+data). Since IKE is using The Diffe-Hellman protocol for key management, I do not see why IKE should use the 2 bytes of UDP cheksum. After all UDP is not session oriented.

  Hello all,

       Could anyone please tell me if IKE exchanges use
  the optional 16 Bit UDP checksum.  I assume it
  probably does.  I am just having a difficult time
  confirming.  Thanks in advance!
