Once this 96-bit header has been formed, it is placed in a buffer, following which the TCP segment itself is placed. Then, the checksum is computed over the entire set of data (pseudo header plus TCP segment). The value of the checksum is placed into the Checksum field of the TCP header, and the pseudo header is discarded—it is not an actual part of the TCP segment and is not transmitted.
When the TCP segment arrives at its destination, the receiving TCP software performs the same calculation. It forms the pseudo header, prepends it to the actual TCP segment, and then performs the checksum (setting the Checksum field to zero for the calculation as before). If there is a mismatch between its calculation and the value the source device put in the Checksum field, this indicates that an error of some sort occurred and the segment is normally discarded.
