Hi Hiren,

Thanks for your information. I found some information from internet (https://lwn.net/Articles/358910/), which talks the difference of LRO and GRO on Linux, and it also points out some shortcomings of LRO: breaks things if system works as a router.

So, how about LRO in FreeBSD?
Could you please share the plan for LRO improvement?

Thanks.

Not that I am aware of. Though there are efforts/talks/patches to improve LRO.

Cheers,
Hiren
