I just started tcpdump and I noticed that my FreeBSD box is doing a
lot of arp who-has queries (1 host / sec). On a static, private
network though this shouldn't be the case, correct?
I also setup a simple echo server via python to do my bidding
(echo'ing foo) and the messages go through via 7-RELENG's kernel, but
I'm seeing a TON of checksum incorrect messages with the 8-CURRENT
kernel. Funny though because this issue used to occur with 7-CURRENT
last year, which is now 7-RELENG, so someone must have accidentally
introduced some kind of regression code into msk(4) or a dependent
portion of the kernel, or my compile options are causing this issue.
I'm posting my simple echo protocol python script at the bottom of the
message, and I'll send you the bzipped format of the tcpdump log
privately to avoid spamming [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks,
