Hi Vincenzo,
thanks for your hints!
I rebooted my guest FBSD 12.1 machine, and I have perfomed your steps
#ifconfig vtnet1 -txcsum -rxcsum -tso4 -tso6 up promisc
vtnet1:
flags=28943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,PPROMISC> metric
0 mtu 1500
options=6c04b8<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,LRO,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6>
ether 0e:bd:ec:7a:08:06
media: Ethernet 10Gbase-T <full-duplex>
status: active
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
tcpdump is ok.
But after:
#vale-ctl
446.196827 bdg_ctl [149] bridge:0 port:0 vale0:vtnet1
446.196855 bdg_ctl [149] bridge:0 port:1 vale0:vtnet1^
tcpdump not work anymore.
I don't understand why the tcp traffic disappears.
In my configuration vtnet1 is a mirror port created by Open vSwitch, but I
don't think that's the reason.
