Connecting sockets set at most one service option; for listening sockets, multiple service codes can be specified. +DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV and DCCP_SOCKOPT_RECV_CSCOV are used for setting the +partial checksum coverage (RFC 4340, sec. 9.2). The default is that checksums +always cover the entire packet and that only fully covered application data is +accepted by the receiver. Hence, when using this feature on the sender, it must +be enabled at the receiver, too with suitable choice of CsCov. + +DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV sets the sender checksum coverage. Values in the + range 0..15 are acceptable. The default setting is 0 (full coverage), + values between 1..15 indicate partial coverage. +DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV is for the receiver and has a different meaning: it + sets a threshold, where again values 0..15 are acceptable. The default + of 0 means that all packets with a partial coverage will be discarded. + Values in the range 1..15 indicate that packets with minimally such a + coverage value are also acceptable.
