Ok, I found the culprit. If I do "ifconfig ix2 -rxcsum" the packet loss disappear. Still strange that it did not affect packets going to user-level. John On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 02:15:14PM +0200, John Hay wrote: > > Ok, after some more testing, I found that it was not only with ipv6 that > I h

Ok, after some more testing, I found that it was not only with ipv6 that I had packet loss. Routing either ipv4 or ipv6 had some loss. My test setup is the Dell T710 with its ix2 connected to a 10G port of a Nortel 4526GTX. On that port I have 2 vlans configured with half of the 1G ports in the o

Hi, I have a Dell T710 with 4 X 10G ethernet interfaces (2 X Dual port Intel 82599 cards). It is running FreeBSD RELENG_8 last updated on July 13. What I see is packet loss (0 - 40%) on IPv6 packets in vlans, when the machine is not the originator of the packets. Let me try to describe a little
