I) APPLICATIONS
Several applications have been ported successfully to UDP-Lite. Ethereal
- (now called wireshark) has UDP-Litev4/v6 support by default. The tarball on

-
- has source code for several v4/v6 client-server and network testing examples.

+ (now called wireshark) has UDP-Litev4/v6 support by default.
Porting applications to UDP-Lite is straightforward: only socket level and
IPPROTO need to be changed; senders additionally set the checksum coverage
length (default = header length = 8). Details are in the next section.
