Public bug reported:
The TSO (TCP segmentation offload), By default it is shown to be ON, but
actually aggregation doesn’t happen.
When turning it on again - aggregation is observed.
Same behavior for mlx4_en, mlx5_core, igb.
Steps to repro:
1.
root:~# uname -r
4.10.0-14-generic
2.
root:~# ethtool -i eno2
driver: igb
version: 5.4.0-k
firmware-version: 1.63, 0x800009fa

bus-info: 0000:06:00.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: yes

netperf -H 10.195.43.1 -l 4 -t TCP_STREAM -c -C -- -m 15000
Traffic size less or equal to 1514 is observed, despite the fact TSO is on.
