Hello,

I was playing with a a gigabit ethernet network switch I just installed
while I found out that my pppoe-firewall/router running OpenBSD 4.7
stopped responding. No packets where going through, I couldn't ping
the OpenBSD machine itself, and the serial console was not working
either.

The moment before I was trying to figure out how a HP ProCurve Switch
behaves on switching loops. Seems like the machine got killed by
too many broadcast packets coming in.

I tried this with other switches I had laying around here and was able
to reproduce the effect with another Netgear gigabit switch (GS108), but
not the smaller fast ethernet model (FS105).

The HP switch involved was a manageable model named ProCurve 1810G-8.

Maybe someone can try to reproduce this as I would not be surprised if
the rather low-end hardware running here is to blame for this. All
tests were done on the re0 and re1 interfaces. The em0
interface is used for the pppoe connection only. re2 is currently not
used.
