+/**
+ * nftablesAddUdpChecksumFixWithTC:
+ *
+ * Add a tc filter rule to @ifname (the bridge device of this network)
+ * that will recompute the checksum of udp packets output from @iface with
+ * destination port @port.
+ *
+ * Normally the checksum should be filled by some part of the basic
+ * network stack, but there are cases (e.g. DHCP response packets sent
+ * from virtualization host to a QEMU guest when the guest NIC uses
+ * vhost-net packet processing) when the host (sender) thinks that
+ * packet checksums will be computed elsewhere (and so leaves a
+ * partially computed checksum in the packet header) while the guest
+ * (receiver) thinks that the checksum has already been fully
+ * computed; in the meantime none of the code in between has actually
+ * finished computing the checksum.
+ *
+ * An example of this is DHCP response packets from host to guest. If
+ * the checksum of each of these packets isn't properly computed, then
+ * many guests (e.g. FreeBSD) will drop them with reason BAD CHECKSUM;
+ * this tc filter rule will fix the ip and udp checksums, and the
+ * FreeBSD dhcp client will happily accept the packet.
+ *
+ * (NB: if you're wondering how the tc qdisc and filter are removed
+ * when the network is destroyed, the answer is that the kernel
+ * automatically (and properly) removes them for us, so we don't need
+ * to worry about keeping track/deleting as we do with nftables rules)
