--- Comment #8 from Michael Tuexen <tuexen@freebsd.org> ---
Please note that the padding is NOT part of the IP packet. Therefore, no no=
de
should consider at as being part of the IP packet or even the TCP payload. I
guess some node is looking at the Ethernet frame length to deduce the IP pa=
cket
length, instead of looking at the length field in the IP header. Network ca=
rds
did this wrong in the past and failed hardware checksum checks since they t=
ook
the padding into consideration where they shouldn't. This doesn't help here,
but might give a hint where things can go wrong.
