TCP error on Bubba2

Post by lkbrow1 »

With a capture via tshark I found the checksum in the TCP packet never changing from A53F even though the timestamp changes. Wire Shark identifies the checksum in error. The ACK on the connection had a good
checksum, it was only the data packets and the retransmission of that data that showed up the errors.

Frame 7 (72 bytes on wire, 72 bytes captured)

It turns out this was caused by the silicon bug. Executing the line:
ethtool --offload eth0 tx off rx off
as root fixed the problem.
