    // RFC 5340 A.3.1.  The OSPF Packet Header: Checksum:
    //   OSPF uses the standard checksum calculation for IPv6 applications:
    //   The 16-bit one's complement of the one's complement sum of the
    //   entire contents of the packet, starting with the OSPF packet
    //   header, and prepending a "pseudo-header" of IPv6 header fields, as
    //   specified in Section 8.1 of [IPV6].  The "Upper-Layer Packet
    //   Length" in the pseudo-header is set to the value of the OSPF
    //   packet header's length field.  The Next Header value used in the
    //   pseudo-header is 89.  If the packet's length is not an integral
    //   number of 16-bit words, the packet is padded with a byte of zero
    //   before checksumming.  Before computing the checksum, the checksum
    //   field in the OSPF packet header is set to 0.
