I have stopped the iptables and ip6tables service.
No rules are loaded in the machine.

Could be anything kernel traffic control, too many iptables rules
(AFAIK, too many iptables could slow down packet processing, thus can
not cope with high burst) etc.

I think better run tcpdump and save the result as pcap. Then load it
in latest Wireshark. Maybe you can get better clues there.

Packet loss in a bridge

2013-11-05 Thread Anil Joshi
Hi All,
I have created a bridge on two nics on the same machine.
The machine having a bridge is an intermediate machine to send packets
across network.
I am seeing much packet loss in the intermediate machine (i think due to
bridge "brctl")

How to avoid it?

Thanks
Anil
