I don't think it was properly tested when it was enabled for IPv6. Given that I have been absentee it really should not be in the default kernel or at least the sysctl should be off. Sorry for the inconvenience. Additionally, you don't need to rebuild you can just disable the sysctl. -Kip On Sunday, April 3, 2011, Frederique Rijsdijk <frederique@isafeelin.org> wr= ote: > Steve, > > On 01-04-11 16:50, Steve Polyack wrote: >> On 04/01/11 10:16, Frederique Rijsdijk wrote: > [ .. ] >>> Mar 31 18:36:12 srv01 kernel: arp: x.x.x.1 moved from >>> 00:00:0c:9f:f0:3d to 00:00:0c:07:ac:3d on bge0 > [ .. ] >>> The result of that, is that loads of FreeBSD machines (6.x, 7.x and >>> 8.x) developed serious network issues, mainly being no or slow traffic > [ .. ] >>> Any ideas anyone? >> We experienced a similar issue here, but IIRC only on our 8.x systems >> (we don't have any 7.x). =A0Disabling flowtable cleared everything up >> immediately. =A0You can try that and see if it helps. > > AFAIK this feature was introduced in 8.x?
