Ah, sorry about the noise then. I cant remember if I ran them connected dir=
ectly, I may have briefly for testing but I certainly did not notice any dr=
op issues. I am just using a built in switch with the TP Link Archer-ax1100=
0 WiFi router which connects to my Internet at 2.5Gb and the local wired co=
nnections are at 1Gb. No drop issues with that. My initial thought would be=
 that the problem is with your connection media, but I'm guessing you alrea=
dy troubleshooted that.

P.S. I also use a number of igc (Intel i225 @ 2.5Gb) cards
          at home and have had no issues with them.





Hi,

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Performance is excellent. Its just the random link drops
      thats at issue.=C2=A0 With default settings, running iperf3 on back t=
o
      back NICs via xover takes a good 20-45min before the link drop.=C2=A0
      If anything, I am surprised at how much traffic these small
      devices can forward.=C2=A0 IPSEC especially is super fast on RELENG_1=
3.
      The link drops seem to be always on the sender.=C2=A0 With fc disable=
d,
      reducing the link speed to 1G seems to make the issue go away, or
      at least its not happening in overnight testing. Its a Celeron
      N5105. https :// http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003990581434.html

Also, if you hook a couple back to back via xover cable, are you
      able to manually set the speed to 1G and pass traffic ? It doesnt
      work for me.
