  • System and method for conveying the reason for TCP reset in machine-readable form
    Patent number: 8891532
    Abstract: An RST reason code is conveyed in a predetermined field of the TCP or IP header for a TCP RST packet in order to indicate the reason for the RST. In this way, an enhanced TCP device that receives the RST packet can access the RST reason code in machine-readable form and, unlike prior art implementations in which ASCII text is carried in the TCP payload to provide a RST reason, without having to process the payload of the TCP packet.

  • Common Checksum Computation for Internet Protocol Version 4 and Version 6 Transmissions
    Publication number: 20090097486
    Abstract: Checksums for internet protocol transmissions of certain transport layer messages are generated using IPv6 pseudo-headers for both IPv4 and IPv6 internet protocol transmissions. For IPv4 transmissions, IPv4 information is mapped into an IPv6 pseudo-header, and the checksum is computed using the IPv6 pseudo-header. Among other things, embodiments of the present invention allow checksums for both IPv4 and IPv6 internet protocol transmissions such transport layer messages to be computed using a common checksum computer.
