Hello,

Just did a fresh install of xen-4.0 and using the 2.6.31.13 dom0 kernel.

I have 6 linux debian guests running, and on my host console i am
getting these errors rolling pretty constantly.

"Attempting to checksum a non-TCP/UDP packet, dropping a protocol 1 packet"

I tried doing the ethtool -K eth0 tx off and same thing on peth0,
using bridged mode for network config.

Any tips? Google is failing me, im not sure what to even search for
other than "xen Attempting to checksum a non-TCP/UDP packet".

Im wondering if this has something to do with why my guests were
seeming to have network timeout/freezing problems, I thought maybe
upgrading from 3.4 to 4.0 would magically solve it.

All the networking stuff is done on the dom0 Linux kernel,
so Xen upgrade doesn't affect that.

Although most probably you also upgraded dom0 kernel..

Can you please post output of:

- ethtool peth0
- ethtool -i peth0
- brctl show
- ifconfig -a


And also:
- ethtool -k peth0

Hi Pasi,
I saw this post and I'm experiencing this checksumming problem as well. The setup is eucalyptus and whenever we try to ping an 'instance' machine from outside the cloud controller we see these errors. Also when we try to ping from inside the instance to the public network. We are running in NOVLAN mode across a bridge.

Here are some details: stats from the 'node controller' (which launches the instances)
