This seems to be a Debian thing only. If I set the MTU to 9000 on a CentOS7 box, it works just fine with FBSD. But two different Debians (raspbian and linuxmint) show severely degraded network performance against FBSD (and only FBSD) when their MTUs are set to 9000. At this point, the problem is fixed, but I would just love for an IP internals expert to explain why this might be happening only viz FreeBSD. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
