If you need to use ns-3 to talk to the "real world" you need to enable
checksums on the various protocols.  As it stands, you need to search the code
and find all the places where this is an option and turn them on individually. 
If someone adds a checksum option somewhere, you have to track this and go back
and change your scripts to keep the checksum enabling code up to date.  This is
not good.

There should be a global enable-checksums option that trumps the individual
checksum attributes and just turns on all checksums in the system.  All
checksum enabling code should respect this global value.
