Hi,=20

I have exactly the same problem explained below (except with FreeBSD
8.2RC3). I lost a lot of packets on the carp interface.

I tested with a point-to-point attachment and there is no problem...

Now that I know that the problem must comes from the switch, how can I
solve it ? Is there a workaround on the FreeBSD side ? May my switch be
misconfigured or bugged (I have tested with HP Procurve switches 1800
and 2910al) ?

I'd greatly appreciate your help to solve this issue.

Thanks a lot,
Micka=C3=ABl
