On a related problem, we are seeing packet checksum corruption with both
the 3Com and Intel Gigabit ethernet adapters when a ping -f -s > 1472 packet
fllods are initiated. The sniffers report packets with corrupted checksum
information. I am copying Larry Angus on this email since he has all
the sniffer traces. These problems show up on 2.2 and 2.4 kernels.
We noticed several emails in the archive regarding this problem, but
no fixes reported. What's disturbing regarding this issue is that
hardware checksum errors are being generated which results in the
packets being lost.
Larry - please provide the traces and documentation you have discovered
to Alan regarding this problem.
