Hi David,

Compiled latest vanilla kernel and all is fine now.

Must be some Centos/Redhat customisation I guess.

Thanks for your help anyway

Daniel

Hi David,

Thanks for your prompt response.

The LVS box is a Hyper-V virtual server  and all offload settings are off.

#ethtool -k eth0
Offload parameters for eth0:
rx-checksumming: off
tx-checksumming: off
scatter-gather: off
tcp-segmentation-offload: off
udp-fragmentation-offload: off
generic-segmentation-offload: off
generic-receive-offload: off
large-receive-offload: off

Anything else I can try?

Thanks

Daniel

Try disabling generic-recieve-offload.

ethtool -K eth0 gro off

I also disabled large-recieve-offload, although I never spent much time trying 
to figure out which was the 'right one', since it was causing production 
problems.

ethtool -K eth0 lro off

My issue was on RHEL6.3, so pretty much the same environment as you, although 
my boxes were using the igb driver (systems using e1000e on older rev hardware 
didn't seem to exhibit the LVS problem).
