Subject: Re: Possible bug in traffic control?

I'm actually leaning towards macsec now.  I'm at 6TB transferred in a
double hop, no macsec over the bridge setup without triggering the
fault.  I'm going to let it continue to churn and setup a second
testbed that JUST uses macsec without traffic control bridging to see
if I can trip the issue there.    That should determine if it's macsec
itself, or an interaction between macsec and traffic control.
