Ciao Oleksandr.

I can't produce patches,I'm not a programmer. But I conduct experiments
every day,changing parameters,system files between different FreeBSD
versions,operating systems and tools.

Can't you use virtio-net instead of passing through the physical network
interface,like this for example : -s 13,virtio-net,tap18 \ in your bhyve
guest ?

You can try these bhyve versions : (try both)
