- 11. An apparatus, comprising a code generator that generates a code for inclusion in a packet to be transmitted from a packet source to a packet destination via a path, wherein the code is generated by taking into account expected changes to the packet during transit from the packet source to the packet destination via the path, wherein the code is included in a code field of the packet.

17. A method of communicating a packet from a source to a destination via a packet path, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a characteristic of the packet path that is expected to modify the packet during communication from the source to the destination; generating a code depending on the characteristic of the packet path; and including the code in the packet. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
