+ * inet_proto_csum_replace16 - update layer 4 header checksum field
+ * @sum: Layer 4 header checksum field
+ * @skb: sk_buff for the packet
+ * @from: old IPv6 address
+ * @to: new IPv6 address
+ * @pseudohdr: True if layer 4 header checksum includes pseudoheader
+ *
+ * Update layer 4 header as per the update in IPv6 src/dst address.
+ *
+ * There is no need to update skb->csum in this function, because update in two
+ * fields a.) IPv6 src/dst address and b.) L4 header checksum cancels each other
+ * for skb->csum calculation. Whereas inet_proto_csum_replace4 function needs to
+ * update skb->csum, because update in 3 fields a.) IPv4 src/dst address,
+ * b.) IPv4 Header checksum and c.) L4 header checksum results in same diff as
+ * L4 Header checksum for skb->csum calculation.
