It seems to run from hours to days without problems.

I don’t have the output of “netstat -m” available, but it did not indicate any 
mbuf or cluster allocation failures. No jumbo clusters (4k, 9k, or 16k) were 
allocated.

MTU is 1500. TSO is “on” but would seem to be irrelevant — no packets are 
transmitted out of these interfaces (verified using “netstat -i”).

Thanks,
Guy
