As chance would have it, I've played with some Myricom myri10ge NICs recently, and even disabled large receive offload during some netperf tests :) It is a modprobe option. Going back now to the driver source and the README I see :-) <excerpt> Troubleshooting =============== Large Receive Offload (LRO) is enabled by default. This will interfere with forwarding TCP traffic. If you plan to forward TCP traffic (using the host with the Myri10GE NIC as a router or bridge), you must disable LRO. To disable LRO, load the myri10ge driver with myri10ge_lro set to 0: # modprobe myri10ge myri10ge_lro=0 Alternatively, you can disable LRO at runtime by disabling receive checksum offloading via ethtool: # ethtool -K eth2 rx off </excerpt> rick jones - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
