--- Comment #37 from Aleksandr Fedorov <afedorov@FreeBSD.org> ---
This is simply because FreeBSD does not know how to forward and NAT packets
with offload.
KVM forwards packets to a virtual machine that can be up to 64 kilobytes in
size and without checksums.

This is optimization!!!

Just read the virtio specification:

struct virtio_net_hdr {
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM 1
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID 2
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_RSC_INFO 4
u8 flags;
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_NONE 0
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCPV4 1
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP 3
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCPV6 4
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP_L4 5
#define VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN 0x80
 u8 gso_type;
 le16 hdr_len;
 le16 gso_size;
 le16 csum_start;
 le16 csum_offset;
 le16 num_buffers;
 le32 hash_value; (Only if VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT negotiated)
 le16 hash_report; (Only if VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT negotiated)
 le16 padding_reserved; (Only if VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT negotiated)
};
