Packet Loss
-
Hi,
I installed FreeBSD 8.0, installed iperf and ran it against another server, was able to saturate the link, and had no dropped packets while pinging it on the bge0 interface.
I'm having trouble understanding how to setup VLANs in rc.conf, but managed it manually on the bge0 interface, and also ran iperf with no dropped packets across VLAN tagged interfaces.
ifconfig bge0.205 create ifconfig bge0.205 inet 10.205.1.253 netmask 255.255.255.0I'm now at a loss on what I can try next…
-
disable rxcsum/txcsum which only lately have been fixed in bge(4) driver on FreeBSD.

@ermal:

do you mean putting a tick in the box for "Hardware Checksum Offloading" ?
Cheers

I'm hoping that do you didn't mean putting a tick in the box for "Hardware Checksum Offloading", as the Dashboard Gateways display is still showing loss (currently 2%) on both WAN and LAN interfaces.
I'm wondering if its something in gateway monitoring that for some reason is having trouble ?
-
I take it back, it looks as if putting a tick in the box, has made a difference.

I spoke too soon, it has started reporting high packet loss again :-(
-
I had the same problem. I turned off the traffic shaper and the problem's gone.
-
I'm not using the packet shaper :-(
-
I've just seen that the AMD64 build are back again :-)
I'll try and give the latest snapshot a go tomorrow.
Cheers

tried the latest AMD64 livecd, and although it boots, it gets as far as
IPsec: Initialized Security Association Processing.
but no further :-(
