My bad.

I switched off checksum offload in /etc/rc.conf like this:
ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.60.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 -rxcsum -txcsum"
(same thing on the other machine)

Now my ifconfig on PC #1 is :
-----------------------------------------
# ifconfig re0
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=98<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
        ether 00:14:c1:40:c2:e8
        inet 192.168.60.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.60.255
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

# ifconfig vlan0
vlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        ether 00:14:c1:40:c2:e8
        inet 192.168.100.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.100.255
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
        vlan: 10 parent interface: re0
-----------------------------------------

on PC #2 :
-----------------------------------------
# ifconfig re0
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=98<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
        ether 00:15:8a:00:48:80
        inet 192.168.60.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.60.255
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

# ifconfig vlan0
vlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        ether 00:15:8a:00:48:80
        inet 192.168.100.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.100.255
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
        vlan: 10 parent interface: re0
-----------------------------------------



Any packet greater than 1472 which gets fragmented doesn't pass through:
command : ping -c 1 -s 1473 192.168.100.2

on the sending machine:
-----------------------------------------
# tcpdump -i re0 -n -vvv not tcp and not stp

23:11:07.649600 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 399, offset 0, flags [+], proto 
ICMP (1), length 1500) 192.168.100.1 > 192.168.100.2: ICMP echo request, 
id 19972, seq 0, length 1480
23:11:07.649605 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 399, offset 1480, flags [none], 
proto ICMP (1), length 21) 192.168.100.1 > 192.168.100.2: icmp
-----------------------------------------


Whereas on the receiving machine I don't get any packet.


Thanks for your answer.
