Hello Rommel,
I reply instead of Akisada-san. He is out of office until next Wednesday.
I could confirm the invalid checksum.
It is probably a miscalculation of the ICMPv6 checksum.
Because the latest specification says nothing about ICMPv6 checksum value and
then the value should be correct.
Please refer to the latest specification.
<http://www.ipv6ready.org/docs/Core_Conformance_Latest.pdf>
The deep investigation will be late.
Thanks for your understanding,
