Public bug reported:

When we was doing jumboframe networking test ,  the test failed with send 
packet size>63488.
The setup we used was ESX server and two ubuntu 8.04.4 server 64bit  Virtual 
Machine, each with virtual e1000 nic.
We have debugged in our side and we determined it is not vmware related issue.

Steps to repro this issue:

1. Setup two ubuntu 8.04.4 server 64bit VM, with e1000 Network adapter and all 
other default config.
2. Put these two VM in same network. 
3. Run network test with netperf and netserver. Start netserver in host A,   
listen to port 49167 for example, 
Then in host B, run :
netperf -p 49167 -H HostA_IP  -L HostB_IP  -l 10 -t udp_stream -- -s 131072, -S 
131072, -m 63488

We can see "0" through put for the test.

Note:

1. No issue found for ubuntu later versions like  ubuntu 1104, 1110
2. No issue found for smaller packet size
3. If you have real e1000 nic, please try and see if could repro on physical 
machine.
