+
+        This class allows calculation of the 16bit checksum value as defined in the TCP/IP v4
+        RFC's. This checksum is \e not a CRC.
+
+        To calculate the checksum, you create an instance of IpChecksum. You then repeatedly call
+        the feed() members to pass data in. After all data has been processed, the sum() member will
+        return the calculated checksum.
+
+        The mathematical properties of the checksum allow to skip any \e even number of zero bytes
+        without changing the checksum value.
