[solved] Re: Bhyve: virtio-net very slow with FreeBSD 12.0 Host

[Ole]

Hello,

just for the record:

There is also a Bug Report documenting this
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242894

It seems, there is a Bug in the hardware vlan tag processing. 
I can solve the problem if I configure the interface with -vlanhwtag on
the host before starting the rest. (via rc.conf)

Thanks to Mike who gave me this hint
