Yes, the issue is on outgoing traffic, and it has to do with netif_queue_stop(). We need one piece of queue plugging state for every queue the hardware supports. So if queue 0 fills up, packets can still be queued for queue 1, 2, ... This can't be cleanly done with a single binary queue-stopped state like we have now. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
