Is there any evidence UDP-Lite works in practice?
I am not aware of any HW that will peek into L3/L4 payload to figure out
that the 'udplite' payload should be passed up even though it has bad csum.
So, AFAIU L2 FCS/CRC essentially renders entire 'partial csum' premise moot,
stack will never receive udplite frames that are damaged.
Did things change?
