Hi, as I mentioned earlier, I have a test FTP/HTTP server running OpenBSD-current on HP notebook Compaq nc6000, and I increased tcp send space to make it send stuff faster.
In my earlier mail I mentioned, that when it sends stuff really fast (a box besides downloads a file via fast ethernet link) bge0 stops transmission (my ssh sessions pauses too) and I see a warning on the console about bge watchdog timeout and reset of the device. If the transmission of data is stopped by the time the bge resets, it recovers. Otherwise it freezes for some time with the watchdog warning again. Today I tried to download a 4MB file from nearby test linux server to that FTP server of mine and had tcpdump -i eth0 -s 2000 -w capture.pcap host linux.test.server command running and then I find difference between the results of tcpdump run on the linux server and the one run on OpenBSD. The linux one shows 4847 packets captured, OpenBSD one shows 4505. Also OpenBSD capture loaded in Wireshark (ver. 1.2.2) shows several bunches of TCP ACK entitled "TCP ACKed lost segment". This is the conclusion of the Wireshark TCP analysis, which says the capture file contains ACKs to a TCP segments that are missing from the capture file. The server IPv4 setup is trivial, static IP, static default route. The server also has gif0 configured to a IPv6 provider (if it counts here), with IPv6 default route being set to the tunnel. The box also has a pf ruleset that allows SSH inside from particular hosts and does pass out [keep state], block in. Can it be that BPF isn't getting all the packets being sent? Thanks! dmesg of the box: OpenBSD 4.6-current (GENERIC) #0: Tue Dec 22 02:36:59 EET 2009 [77/525] cy...@openbox:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 1.60 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,TM,SBF,EST,TM2 real mem = 536244224 (511MB) avail mem = 510955520 (487MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 08/30/06, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xf0000, SMBIOS rev. 2.3 @ 0xfa1ee (31 entries) bios0: vendor Hewlett-Packard version "68BDD Ver.
