Hi, thanks for the email - I canb recreate this very easily here now. I have also shown that it the problem doesnt happen on a kernel from Feb 25th, but does happen on a kernel from this week. cery easy to demonstarte - set up 2 machines. Ping one from the other so that it is pinging nicely. Then delete the ndp entry. The ping freezes - sometimes for 20 seconds! It eventually starts again with all the inrtervening packets lost. This only happens if the machone being oinged is running the newer kernel. If you do it the other way round then all is fine. I havent tried to reproduce what I saw with CARP - but that feels like the same problem to me. i.e. ndp cannot find the CARP interface's ether address, and tahst why connectivity does not work. -pete. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
