Pls add comments for this one as well.

Can we add a comment for csum field pls? E.g.
	/* Checksum calculation */

num -> Number? Don't abbreviate and upper case for consistency.

packets -> coalesced_packets? Or is coalesced segments in fact better?

num -> Number? Don't abbreviate and upper case for consistency.
