I brought up yet another system to see if I can isolate the problem. I am using ping or ping6 with -s5000 -b6000 All of the systems have bge interfaces unfortunately, even though they are completely different machine. ping from 12.1 to 13.0 works ping from 12.1 to 12.2 fails ping from 12.2 to 12.1 fails ping from 12.2 to 13.0 fails ping from 13.0 to 12.1 works ping from 13.0 to 12.2 fails From this the problem appears to lie with 12.2. However, if I do the same ping on each machine, but to its own link-local address, all 3 systems work fine. I suspect the problem does not lie in the bge driver as the ACKs are being received on all systems. 12.2 just seems to ignore them.
