--- Comment #34 from Tom Jones <thj@FreeBSD.org> ---
Hi,

This was highlighted to me as a long standing issue that the foundation mig=
ht
look at. There is a decade of discussion here and it isn't super clear if t=
here
are several symptoms that are addressed by disabling checksum offload or if
there are multiple issues.

I think there are two different cases (if I were writing tests, which I will
try to).

FreeBSD as a router on Linux KVM incorrectly skips checksum calculations
breaking forwarding.

FreeBSD as a router with checksum offload disabled is unable to forward
suitable traffic rates.

can someone confirm by reading of the thread and suggest other failure case=
s?

My preference would be to write tests for issues we can identify, close this
bug and track fixing the tests in their own bugs. 10 years of comments is h=
ard
to reason about :).

Ideally someone(s) running FreeBSD on KVM would help me populate a wiki page
with exemplar use cases, that would allow me to find someone to help write
tests and put together a test environment.
