Hi Kevin,


What you're seeing looks almost like a checksum is bad, or
there is some other packet damage.  Do you see any
error counters increasing if you run netstat -s before
and after the test & compare the results?

Thinking that, perhaps, this was a bug in my mxge(4), I attempted
to reproduce it this morning between  8.3 and 9.0 boxes and
failed to see the bad behavior..

% nuttcp-6.1.2 -c32t -t diablo1-m < /dev/zero
  9161.7500 MB /  10.21 sec = 7526.5792 Mbps 53 %TX 97 %RX 0 
host-retrans 0.11 msRTT
% nuttcp-6.1.2  -t diablo1-m < /dev/zero
  9140.6180 MB /  10.21 sec = 7509.8270 Mbps 53 %TX 97 %RX 0 
host-retrans 0.11 msRTT


However, I don't have any 8.2-r box handy, so I cannot
exactly repro your experiment...
