Oh, another thought, LRO is not enabled by default, it causes problems when you are forwarding, but if you are just passing back to back traffic it helps enormously, so use ifconfig to enable it on the interface. Jack ___ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing

Is there planned support for the 82597EX (10 GbE) chipset and if there is a plan, is that incremental development on the em driver or completely separate piece of code? At least the linux driver seems to be separate, although the chip semantics seem very similar of the later 8254X (1 GbE) chips.
