I thought it might be due to tcpdump receives a packet which is
checksummed partially while the wire receives a correct one, but netperf
shows that is wrong, apparently it hurts performance:

With latest -net:

~% netperf -4 -H 192.168.122.74
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to
192.168.122.74 () port 0 AF_INET
Recv   Send    Send

 87380  16384  16384    10.20     105.19

With a RHEL6 kernel:

~% netperf -4 -H 192.168.122.101
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to
192.168.122.101 () port 0 AF_INET
