Vivek,
When stress testing I never had any issues with the bge NIC on our AMD64
Tyan S2882 system.
Of course within a day of putting it in production it crashed. Switching
to the fxp NIC did not fix the crash, although it crashed differently.
If you have a spare server you don't mind crashing, can you try running
20-60 instances of the following script:
#!/bin/sh
while :
do
arp -d <some valid IP> >/dev/null 2>&1
ping -c 1 -t 1 <the same valid IP> >/dev/null 2>&1
done
Thanks,
Gary
