Anderson) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.bugs Subject: Duplicate packet creation problem with NetBSD 0.9 Date: 20 Sep 1993 13:59:45 -0500 Organization: The Carroll College poorly-installed InterNetNews site Lines: 20 Message-ID: <27kuj1$ghv@carroll1.cc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: carroll1.cc.edu Summary: MY kernel is spewing duplicate icmp packets ack! Keywords: kernel duplicate icmp packets Ok, after playing with many of the ethernet structures in the kernel sources, I have decided that this problem may or may not be in the kernel it self. All ping requests less than 128 or so bytes in size result in 30 or 40 duplicate packets getting bounced back. Does anyone have an idea of why, or an Idea to help me find out why? I've tried ENBUF, ETHER_MIN_LEN, ETHER_MAX_LEN, MTU, and a few others to try to get this fixed. After 20 kernels or so, I have decided that this must be a bug with the std distribution of NetBSD 0.9. I Started this NetBSD from scratch last week. I repartitioned the drives, loaded misc, base, etc, security, and ksrc sets. I then compiled a kernel with the stock compiler. Soon after I had this kernel, I noticed that the ethernet performance was way off from NetBSD 0.8 with the mycroft if_ne.c driver. I see that parts of his and others are in the 0.9 driver. (the 0.8 if_ne.c source won't compile in with stock 0.9 sources) I've tried taking various options out of the kernel etc also. Nothing seems to work. Maybe its another one of the network daemons? Does anyone have any ideas? please post or mail to root@hastur.cc.edu, or sander@carroll1.cc.edu Thanks.
