ChecksumHeaderInserter

simple module

Adds a checksum to packets to verify data integrity. This module extends ChecksumInserterBase and adds the ability to specify the position of the checksum header (front or back of the packet). It processes packets by creating a new checksum header, computing the checksum value based on the packet content and checksum mode, setting the checksum value and mode in the header, and inserting the header at the specified position.

Inheritance diagram

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Known subclasses

Name	Type	Description
EthernetFcsHeaderInserter	simple module	Inserts Ethernet FCS checksums as headers into packets to enable data integrity verification. This module extends ChecksumHeaderInserter and specializes it to use the "ethernet-fcs" checksum type.
InternetChecksumHeaderInserter	simple module	Inserts Internet checksum headers into packets to enable data integrity verification. This module extends ChecksumHeaderInserter and specializes it to use the "internet" checksum type.

Extends

Name	Type	Description
ChecksumInserterBase	simple module	Base module for checksum inserters that add checksums to packets for integrity verification. This module supports multiple checksum algorithms such as CRC32 and the Internet checksum, and also several checksum modes: disabled, declared correct, declared incorrect, and computed. In computed mode, it calculates the actual checksum based on the packet content using the selected checksum algorithm. The checksumMode parameter determines which mode is used.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default value	Description
displayStringTextFormat	string	"processed %p pk (%l)"	Determines the text that is written on top of the submodule, supports displaying pars, watches, and module-specific information
checksumType	string	"ethernet-fcs"
checksumMode	string	"declared"
headerPosition	string	"front"
