--- Comment #37 from Aleksandr Fedorov <afedo...@freebsd.org> ---
This is simply because FreeBSD does not know how to forward and NAT packets
with offload.
KVM forwards packets to a virtual machine that can be up to 64 kilobytes in
size and without checksums.
This is optimization!!!
Just read the virtio specification:
struct virtio_net_hdr {
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM 1
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID 2
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_RSC_INFO 4
u8 flags;
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_NONE 0
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCPV4 1
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP 3
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCPV6 4
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP_L4 5
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN 0x80
u8 gso_type;
le16 hdr_len;
le16 gso_size;
le16 csum_start;
le16 csum_offset;
le16 num_buffers;
le32 hash_value; (Only if VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT negotiated)
le16 hash_report; (Only if VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT negotiated)
le16 padding_reserved; (Only if VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT negotiated)
};
