--- Comment #11 from freebsd@mcwest.org ---
(In reply to ncrogers from comment #10)
Well said.  I can confirm that there is a bug in the igb(4) driver when usi=
ng
the legacy single-queue mode, eventually causing the kernel to crash.  Addi=
ng a
queue to limit throughput is an effective workaround.  For example:

     ## Limit bandwidth on internal interface to avoid igb driver bug
     altq on $int_if cbq bandwidth 404Mb queue { internal }
     queue internal bandwidth 99% priority 1 cbq(default red borrow)

Note that this appears to be a bug in the driver, and not in ALTQ itself (a=
nd
hence should be a separate bug report).  However, with this workaround in p=
lace
I have not seen any crashes in the last six months.
