After running "netstat -s -p tcp", we found that lots of packets are discarded due to memory problems. We googled for it, and found that sysctl oid "net.inet.tcp.reass.maxsegments" became 0, therefore packets never reassembled.

Then we checked our /boot/loader.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf, and found that setting kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0" makes net.inet.tcp.reass.maxsegments=0. After setting net.inet.tcp.reass.maxsegments="1600" in /boot/loader.conf, the network works perfectly now.

Was it set to 0 through a configuration error, or did the system auto-tune improperly?
