Usually resends will paper over this kind of problem. It's only a question
of time until they succeed for any protocol that changed the packet
content sufficiently to make the checksum work eventually. But of course
performance will suffer and as a matter of statistics certain IP address
and port ranges are going to suffer more than others.
