I wonder how you could test IPv6 checksum offloading/TSO as FreeBSD
does not have that capability yet. Do we already have that
capability? I vaguely remember there was an effort to bring the
support in but I don't know current status. If we have the
capability I would have to update all other drivers that can do
IPv6 checksum offloading/TSO for IPv6.
