Abstract
A relay node and method for encapsulating a packet based on a tunneling protocol. The relay node includes a communication device, a storage device, and a processor. The communication device communicates with a receiving node and a transmitting node; the storage device stores multiple instructions; and the processor is coupled to the communication device and the storage device for loading and executing the multiple instructions stored in the storage device to: control the communication device to receive a packet transmitted by the transmitting node; generate a protocol header related to the packet based on the packet, and calculate a checksum as a checksum block in the multiple sections using multiple sections in the protocol header at least; generate an encapsulated packet including the protocol header and the packet; and transmit the encapsulated packet to the receiving node through the communication device for verifying the checksum block.
