- The answer, unfortunately, is no.
-
- UDP packets sent by user programs from an RS6000 have checksums, but
- packets from the NFS server do not.
-
- There has been a discussion of this topic in comp.protocols.nfs and
- comp.unix.aix in the last couple of days. According to
- bguest@ateam.ems.cdc.com (Brandon Guest), there is no standard way to
- turn on NFS/UDP checksums in AIX, but if you harass IBM tech support,
- they will send you a patch to do it. He also suggested that everyone
- interested in this open a PMR (whatever that is) with IBM, requesting
- that this be fixed.
