shortly.
In the data you displayed earlier you had two different driver revisions on
each end of your link,

Hi,
To disable LRO I tried ifconfig igb1 -lro and I also tried adding the
sysctl params in loader.conf. Both did not result in any change.

Hello everyone,
I'm back with more updates on the issue. Forgive my lack of elaboration on
the topic in my previous post; over the frustration of this problem I
couldn't see this topic through so I let it go for a few days to revisit
with a clear head perhaps.
As I mentioned in a previous post,

Hello All,
The subject topic might catch a few by surprise because for the most part
it smells a lot like a problem that came to light in 2009 regarding bad
performance on Intel NICs using the igb driver.

FreeBSD 8.1 that c
