Error description

  • When the VIOS server has large receive enabled and the
    VIO client has checksum offload disabled, the throughput
    is poor.  The checksum of the large packets received by
    the VIO client will be incorrect.
    

Local fix

  • Large receive on the VIOS could be disabled or checksum
    offload could be enabled on the VIO client.
    

Problem summary

  • When the VIOS server has large receive enabled and the VIO
    client has checksum offload disabled, the network throughput is
    poor.  The checksum of the large packets received by the VIO
    client will be incorrect.
    

Problem conclusion

  • When large receive is enabled, checksum is calculated
    correctly, so that VIOC transport layer  accept those
    packets.
    

Temporary fix
