That's actually a very interesting observation. How much bits should a checksum take for such payloads? At least the 9000 jumbo things.

iSCSI uses a 32 bit CRC. (TCP is 16 bits). There was a draft to use 32 bit TCP checksums but it never got traction: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-anumit...

SCTP uses a 32 bit checksum.
