Hi,

Doing some edge case testing with 12.2-BETA1, I have come across
fragmentation issues when vlanhwtag is enabled on the em(4) network device
(device listed below), causing IPSec traffic moving through a bhyve
'router-on-a-stick' to tank on send.  When you disable (-vlanhwtag), this
issue goes away and full speed send is possible.

Here is a snip of the traffic leaving for the internet after traversing
several VLANs through a bhyve router with vlanhwtag enabled:

Happy to provide further information if required and perform testing to
make sure the 12.2 release is polished.  Thanks,
