Do you see ICMP/UDP only and not TCP?

In my setup, vtnet0 is a guest interface backed by a host tap device
(attached to a linux bridge), and hypervisor is QEMU/KVM.
Here are the steps I follow in the VM (in this order):

# ifconfig vtnet0 -txcsum -rxcsum -tso4 -tso6 up 192.168.100.2/24
# vale-ctl -h vale0:vtnet0

# nc 192.168.100.1 5555 # connect to listening netcat in the host.
hello
abc
[...]
# tcpdump -ni vtnet0 # This shows the TCP traffic.

I start to see problems when I change the offloads:
# ifconfig vtnet0 -lro

Cheers,
  Vincenzo
