Hi Abhijit,

You can use bittwiste to edit the file and recalculate the checksums.

http://bittwist.sourceforge.net/
http://bittwist.sourceforge.net/doc/bittwiste.1.html
<snip>
Bittwiste  can  currently  edit  Ethernet,  ARP, IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP
      headers. If run with the -X flag, you can append your own payload
after
      any  of  these  headers;  specified using the -L and -T flag. Bittwiste
      will, if not run with the -C flag, recalculate the  checksums  for
 IP,
      ICMP,  TCP,  and  UDP  packets, except for the last fragment of a
frag-
      mented IP datagram; bittwiste does not currently support checksum
 cor-
      rection  for the last fragment of a fragmented IP datagram.
<snip>

Example:
$ bittwiste -I test.pcap -O test_outfile.pcap -T ip -s 192.168.1.3,192.168.11.33
-d 192.168.1.3,192.168.11.33
input file: test.pcap
output file: test_outfile.pcap

138 packets (119763 bytes) written

Best regards
Joan
