I have seen such and issue but it depends on the environment structure. I have seen it mostly on VM's and it was resolved. The hardware and software details of the setup might help to understand what's causing it.

Hi,
Recently I'm noticing an interesting issue. My CentOS servers are trying to send logs to a logging server via 514/udp, however I'm not receiving anything.
I did the following on CentOS *tcpdump -vvv -nn udp -i esn160 port 514*
In another session on the same server: *nc syslog-server -u 514*
tcpdump started to show me messages like: *[bad udp cksum 0x3ce9 -> 0xb0f5!] SYSLOG, length: 172*
After some research I disabled TCO (ethtool -K ens160 tx off rx off), now tcpdump shows: *[udp sum ok] [|syslog]* And I'm also receiving the logs. Yay!
I have the same issue on multiple servers with CentOS versions 7.3.1611, 7.4.1708 & 7.5.1804. I'm having the issue no matter if it is a physical or virtual server (they also use different hardware and NIC's)
Of course I could run ethtool every time a server starts but I think there should be a better solution. Also I enjoy having TCO giving some rest to the CPUs.
Did anyone find a solution for this?
