Thanks. Enabling TSO can make the issue easily occur. Well, this is just a clue.

The back port is not done by me, and the people who did that because their system is based on 9.2, and it takes a lot of effort to upgrade FreeBSD system.

They installed 2 VM (FreeBSD 9.2 with the customized FreeBSD kernel) on Azure. Network went offline very soon when the big file (~320M byte) is copied from one VM to anther through "scp". If TSO is disabled through "sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.tso=0", this issue will be alleviated but cannot be eliminated. I did not figure out why.

Hi!

It may be something to do with maximum mbufs per packet or some other limit like that. Is there a lot of interest in backporting the latest hyperv driver to 9.2?
