Hi Ota,

It looks like there were a few changes that went through that could be 
causing the regression.  The most obvious one that jumps out at me is 
commit 72bfd32d2f84 ("ixgbe: disable LRO by default").  As such one 
thing you might try doing is turning on LRO support via ethtool -k to 
see if that is the issue you are seeing.

If that doesn't resolve the issue it would be useful if you could might 
try doing a git bisect to narrow this down to a specific patch.

Thanks.

- Alex
