checksum calculation in ip packet forwarding

[cranium 2003 <cranium.2003@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
1) How Router knows destinations mtu. In IP forwarding case following
function is used that checks pmtu value to decide whether outgoing
packet is required to fragment a packet or not?
static inline int ip_send(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
        if (skb->len > skb->dst->pmtu)
                return ip_fragment(skb, ip_finish_output);
        else
                return ip_finish_output(skb);
}

2) Can anybody help me how following function works in calcualting checksum?
static inline int ip_decrease_ttl(struct iphdr *iph)
{
        u32 check = iph->check;
        check += __constant_htons(0x0100);
        iph->check = check + (check>=0xFFFF);
        return --iph->ttl;
}
regards,
