Understood, we need to have a valid inner checksum.
RFC1624 states that the computation would be incorrect in
corner/boundary case.
I reckon you are basing your incremental update on RFC1141?
Also I think you should take care of endianess and increment the
checksum with
host_to_be(0x0100) instead of +1.

If I am understanding the RFCs mentioned above correctly, you should be
able to do
incremental checksum update for any 16bit field/value of the IP header.
I don't see no reason why you couldn't do something like that, except
that you would
have to follow the full equation instead of just adding 0x0100, which
would be always
the case when decrementing TTL.
What do you think?
