[9.065][INFO] Intel 82574L Packet of Death for SIP

Hi All
I came across this today and I think that the developers should be aware of this.
What can be done I'm not sure.
A test could be done against the Nic and apply patch if required.

Here are the sources that I found:-

Hey Mark,

Thank you for this useful information. [:)]
Tried on one appliance with tcpreplay (icmp and http packets) and the interface did not crash.
Will talk with the HW team for further investigation on this topic.

Regards,

I'm not sure, but I think this might be related to the known bug in Mantis regarding "a" power management bug in the Intel NIC driver (well, really the firmware) that is slated to be fixed in 9.005 --- basically turns off power management altogether on the NIC. Hopefully that fix will be integrated into the beta already, I would think.
