   Not true -- see RFC 768:   
      
      Checksum is the 16-bit one's complement of the one's complement sum   
      of a pseudo header of information from the IP header, the UDP   
      header, and the data, padded with zero octets at the end (if   
      necessary) to make a multiple of two octets.   
      
   How optional it is today can also be debated, I suspect. IIRC it's not   
   optional over IPv6.  And there's also UDP Lite.
