Hi, this patch works for me, also. Reass counter now does not increase ( tcpreass: 40, 1680, 21, 399, 572562, 0, 0 ) and a severe network performance issue of netatalk and afpd, used as a "Time Capsule" server for mac os x, seems now disappeared. Really thank you, best regards, On Sat, Nov 26, 2011 at 6:23 AM, Lawrence Stewart <lstewart@freebsd.org> wrote: > On 11/25/11 13:01, Lawrence Stewart wrote: >> >> On 11/24/11 18:02, Kris Bauer wrote: >>> >>> Hello, >>> >>> I am currently experiencing an issue with FreeBSD 9.0-RC2 r227852 >>> where the >>> net.inet.tcp.reass.curesegments value is constantly increasing (and not >>> descreasing when there is nominal traffic with the box).
