Hi,
Some NICs has GRO(generic-receive-offload), which works by aggregating multiple incoming packets from a single stream into a larger buffer before they are passed higher up the networking stack, thus reducing the number of packets that have to be processed. But when we use MPTCP, GRO may aggregate packets whose subflow sequence number is continuous but data sequence number is discontinuous. This is not expected. How can we deal with this problem? Is it necessary to disable GRO?
Best wishes,
Wang Shuai
