prod server:

albpd4:~# ethtool -k eth01
Offload parameters for eth01:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp-segmentation-offload: on
udp-fragmentation-offload: off
generic-segmentation-offload: on
generic-receive-offload: on
large-receive-offload: on
ntuple-filters: off
receive-hashing: off

pre-prod server:

albpd1:~# ethtool -k eth01
Offload parameters for eth01:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp-segmentation-offload: on
udp-fragmentation-offload: off
generic-segmentation-offload: on
generic-receive-offload: on
large-receive-offload: off
ntuple-filters: off
receive-hashing: off

Hmm... notice how the large-receive-offload (LRO) is different on the
two machines.

I cannot disable LRO with userspace ethtool:

albpd4:~# ethtool -K eth01 lro off
Cannot set large receive offload settings: Invalid argument
