BTW, when I've wrote about those "undetected network errors", I've meant those-network-errors-which-arise-in-UNENCRYPTED-packets (as 16-bit UDP checksum is certainly not enough for this purpose). And DTLS etc. take care of packet corruption themselves (actually, they consider it an attack).

The UDP checksum is twice unreliable since it's optional.
Since IPv6 it is mandatory, but it still sucks :-(
