Someone in this thread: https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/bugs/530/#2855
reported that *"With these kernels I was only able to work around the
issue by disabling tx-checksumming offload with ethtool."*
However, that was reported for Kernels 4.2.6 / 4.2.8 / 4.4.8 and 4.4.10. I
just thought it could be something you could rule out and hence mentioned
it:
ethtool --offload eth6 rx off tx off
Another thing to rule out in case its a regression with Intel NICs and TSO:
# tso => tcp-segmentation-offload
# gso => generic-segmentation-offload
# gro => generic-receive-offload
# sg => scatter-gather
# ufo => udp-fragmentation-offload (Cannot change)
# lro => large-receive-offload (Cannot change)
ethtool -K eth6 tso off gso off gro off sg off
