Hi Tom ! Thanks for your help!

I had to step back the chance an put the "old" gateway back, the
performance was unacceptable  :-(

Looking closer I see that still have the problem using the old gateway
too, in a small scale because I only use vlan to external links.

This old gateway is running 6.2-STABLE and have 4 network interfaces:
fxp0, fxp1, sk0 and sk1.

fxp0, sk0 and sk1 are no parent of any vlans, are connected to
internal networks and work without problems, follow the ifconfig
ouput:

fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=8<VLAN_MTU>
        inet 10.11.0.1 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 10.11.255.255
        ether 00:02:a5:41:c6:b2
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
sk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        inet 10.2.0.36 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 10.2.255.255
        ether 00:0a:5e:5c:9e:2e
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex,flag0,flag1>)
        status: active
sk1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
        ether 00:0a:5e:5c:27:ef
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

fxp1 is parent of 7 vlan interfaces: vlan16, vlan20, vlan200, vlan201,
vlan202 and vlan205 that connect my internal network to some external
links, follow the ifconfig output:


vlan200: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.200.0.1 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 10.200.0.3
        ether 00:0c:f1:ac:91:09
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
        vlan: 200 parent interface: fxp1
vlan201: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.200.0.5 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 10.200.0.7
        ether 00:0c:f1:ac:91:09
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
        vlan: 201 parent interface: fxp1
vlan202: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.200.0.9 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 10.200.0.11
        ether 00:0c:f1:ac:91:09
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
        vlan: 202 parent interface: fxp1

vlan205: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.0.0.9 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 10.0.0.11
        ether 00:0c:f1:ac:91:09
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

Like seen before netstat -niW show output errors in vlan interfaces

# netstat -niW
Name      Mtu Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts
Oerrs  Coll
vlan201  1500 <Link#11>     00:0c:f1:ac:91:09    53524     0    52234
  63     0
vlan202  1500 <Link#12>     00:0c:f1:ac:91:09     5907     0     4421
   4     0

vlan205  1500 <Link#15>     00:0c:f1:ac:91:09  9728659     0  9373148
87025     0


(the vlan205 is the most used and the output error is increasing...)


Taking a quick look through if_vlan.c it seems that the output error counter (ifp->if_oerrors) is only incremented in 3 places:

1) Then padding short frames that are valid with the vlan tag but runts when they have the tag stripped.

2) When inserting the VLAN tag in to the packet when the underlying interface does not support vlan hardware tagging.

3) When IFW_HANDOFF fails to hand the packet off to the parent interface.

Do you have any error messages on the console in dmesg? ('cannot pad short frame', 'unable to prepend vlan header' for example).
