Hello,

I'm running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #1: Thu May 19 15:05:33 EEST 2011

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5530  @ 2.40GHz (2400.10-MHz 
K8-class CPU)
real memory  = 25769803776 (24576 MB)

     device     = 'NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet (BCM5709)'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet

When bandwidth hits about 250Mb/s I get ~70 input errors/s, which causes 
packet loss.

bce0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

kern.ipc.nmbclusters=131072
kern.ipc.somaxconn=16384
net.inet.tcp.maxtcptw=40960

About 4 million input errors on bce0.

Today I changed kern.hz 200 -> 2000 and for ~7 hour uptime I get ~2 
million input errors on bce0.

RX/TX pages - 2 (default by driver), until now I didn't try to set a 
higher value (I saw in -current this option is available for changing 
via sysctl)

load averages:  4.84,  4.81,  4.86
CPU:  5.4% user,  0.0% nice, 10.9% system,  4.4% interrupt, 79.3% idle
Mem: 3179M Active, 11G Inact, 4253M Wired, 56K Cache, 2465M Buf, 5097M Free
Swap: 24G Total, 24G Free

I found in similar thread this patch as suggested: 
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/bce/bce.20100305.diff, but I didn't 
try it yet, because noone confirmed if this is a working solution.

Anyone tested on -stable RX/TX pages = 8 ?
Did anyone test suggested patch from Yongari and can confirm it is a 
working solution ?

Thanks
