RFC 1141: Incremental updating of the Internet checksum

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 1624. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This memo correctly describes the incremental update procedure for use with the standard Internet checksum. It is intended to replace the description of Incremental Update in RFC 1071. This is not a standard but rather, an implementation technique.
