Maybe the last commit on this > driver in RELENG_4 (sys/pci/if_vr.c, rev 1.26.2.14) is the culprit. Well, in fact I made further investigation : - Only TCP seems to be affected. UDP and ICMP appear to work without packet drop. - Switching back from my vr(4) to my ep(4) did not resolve the problem. Thus, it seems this problem is independant from the network driver (which makes more sense because AFAIK the latters are not involved in DUMMYNET, as they are in ALTQ for example). I can still use pipes on interface ingress, internal interface egress, but it fails when I use a pipe on egress on my external interface _for packet being forwarded and NATed only_. Weirdly I am still able to use a TCP stream from the router itself. I'll give a try to a 4.10 kernel ASAP. Regards, -- Jeremie Le Hen jeremie@le-hen.org
