Hi netdev and e1000 people,

I have a weird problem here.
[...]

I have the same kind of problem at home. I can't copy big files over
ssh unless I limit the rate ( ssh -l 8000 ... )
After reading your mail, I make some quick tests ( see below).

Results in short :
- netcat always work.
- ssh stalls, nearly immediately.
Good God it's true then!

I think I have an idea for why Netcat works while scp doesn't:
probably SCP pushing data requires replies from the application layer (the 60 bytes I was telling about for SFTP) while netcat doesnt, it just needs the Acks to keep pushing data.

Still if I am right, with Netcat you might end up with a corrupted file on the other side (shorter). Or maybe not, depending on how exactly the bug is made. Could you check this? Filesize and md5sum.

I think I just reproduced the bug on another machine, different hardware (Supermicro mainboard), same Ubuntu, same kernel, same integrated Intel network card. It just takes 5 hours or so for me to trigger.

Do you have Intel network card, with e1000e driver on SG? (see lsmod) (sorry I was wrong before, it's e1000e in my case not e1000) Otherwise it's probably the TCP layer...

Would you paste here your lspci and lsmod?

Thank you
