--- Comment #1 from ol@dbconn.net ---
Hello,

after upgrading machines from 12.2 to 12.3 I experienced very slow network
connection on virtual machines when activating ipfw on the host system. With
12.2 there was no problem.

Description of the affected setup:

* HostA and HostB, both FreeBSD 12.3, one NIC
* VmA (on HostA) and VmB (on HostB), both with virtio-net.

HostA and HostB are connected to a Switch with vlans. For me everything beh=
ind
the NIC is a blackbox.
vlan MTU is 1400. On both hosts there is a bridge, with the vlan-interface =
and
the tap of the vm.


HostA and HostB:
igb0---igb0.4030---bridge4030---tap0


On HostA and B there ist only one ipfw rule:
65535 allow ip from any to any


Measurement of thoughput:

VmA # nc -v -l 2222 > /dev/null
VmB # nc -v vma 2222
Connection to vma 2222 port [tcp/*] succeeded!
6+0 records in
6+0 records out
6291456 bytes transferred in 19.360484 secs (324964 bytes/sec)

this is 317kbytes/s=20

If I deactivate the ipfw firewall on HostA with "service ipfw stop" the
throughput increases to 21Mbytes/s.

I tried to solve it by deactivating options with:
ifconfig igb0 -txcsum -rxcsum -txcsum6 -rxcsum6 -tso4 -tso6 -vlanhwtso
-vlanhwcsum
but this could not solve the problem.

regards
Ole
