Can we change the name then? We've seen the similar issue without the jumbo frames, which made me wonder.

It's strange, because 'normal' frames are less than a page size in length, so the issue I was experiencing should not be reproducable with jumbo frames disabled. Can you describe a bit more what kind of problem you're experiencing?

The traffic through interface abruptly halts randomly when under a load, without any signs of a problem. What is interesting is that the communication through unix domain sockets appears to be down too, since some scripts that connect to database not able to complete as well, so whatever this problem is it affect the whole network subsystem. We tried to replace hardware and it did not help. Only after we replaced bce(4) with IntelPro card (em) the problem has went away.
Sorry, I've just noticed this thread and did not read the earlier posts. I can see similar, although only (at least for now) on version 8 (running something around RC2), also with bce interfaces and "heavy" -in terms of pps, this is a DNS server- network load.

Everything which involves network halts for some minutes, but the machine is completely usable from the console. top shows some processes (I don't have an output, but as far as I can remember they were only that which did network IO) in the "keglim" state.
Then something happens and the machine starts to work again.

Can this be the same, or is it completely different?

It really looks like the same issue. Those boxes are heavy-duty VoIP switches, so that they are handling high PPS as well in our case.
