So here's my results.
On 55 packets transmitted for the mysql request
25 correct checksums
28 incorrect
Disabling TSO and GSO doesn't help much, got exact same result
As for the macvlan bridge mode how can i check if it's available or not??
Would it let things work even if not supported?
--- Misc ---
Veth pair device: enabled
Macvlan: enabled
Vlan: enabled
File capabilities: enabled
Thanks,
Olivier
