Description

In some virtual setups traffic from internal hosts may fail to pass when the WAN is PPPoE on a vtnet NIC in 25.11.

This is a regression since 25.07.1.

Hitting this requires a combination of virtual host version and setup that has yet to be determined.

This is fixed in 26.03 development snapshots but it's unclear exactly what fixed it. There have been a number of commits to both vtnet and the tcp stack that may be applicable.

  • Status changed from Confirmed to Feedback

To workaround this issue either use a different virtual NIC type (em, vmx) or disable hardware off-loading on the physical NIC in the hypervisor.

For example:

ethtool -K enp1s0 rx off tx off tso off gso off gro off
