InvalidChecksumInHeartbeat.seq - HEARTBEAT chunk is received with invalid checksum
To check that if HEARTBEAT chunk is received with invalid checksum, the
endpoint should silently discards the HEARTBEAT.

Association is established between endpoint A and B. Arrange data
in endpoint A such that HEARTBEAT message is send to endpoint B
with invalid checksum.
Endpoint A Endpoint B ULP
(ESTABLISHED) (ESTABLISHED)
HEARTBEAT -----------------> Silently discard
(with invalid checksum)
TEST DESCRIPTION:
1. Send HEARTBEAT message from endpoint A to B with wrong CRC-32
checksum, when there is no association between them.
Record the message sequence using a signal emulator.
2. Check A: HEARTBEAT message is discarded and no other actions are taken.
3. Check B: Was the message sequence as above.
None
RFC 4960
1.5.6. Packet Validation
A mandatory Verification Tag field and a 32-bit checksum field (see
Appendix B for a description of the CRC32c checksum) are included in
the SCTP common header. The Verification Tag value is chosen by each
end of the association during association startup. Packets received
without the expected Verification Tag value are discarded, as a
protection against blind masquerade attacks and against stale SCTP
packets from a previous association. The CRC32c checksum should be
set by the sender of each SCTP packet to provide additional
protection against data corruption in the network. The receiver of
an SCTP packet with an invalid CRC32c checksum silently discards the
packet.
