Most of the times the breakage came out when using dummynet, but there were some nasty race conditions related, among other things, to passing the ethernet header as a pointer into a part of the mbuf which should not be in use. I suggest upgrading to 4.3 or a recent -stable, this should fix things (at least, the bugs that i knew of). cheers luigi ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
