Hi Guys,
We’re running VyOS in a XenServer 7.1 in the version 1.1.8 (helium):
Version: VyOS 1.1.8
Description: VyOS 1.1.8 (helium)
Copyright: 2017 VyOS maintainers and contributors
Built by: [email protected]
Built on: Sat Nov 11 13:44:36 UTC 2017
Build ID: 1711111344-b483efc
System type: x86 64-bit
Boot via: image
Hypervisor: Xen hvm
HW model: HVM domU
We note the following logs:

We applied the Workaround disabling the atributes tcp-segmentation-offload and scatter-gather:
root@goc-rjo1-rtr-01:/home/amascarenhas# sudo ethtool -k eth0
Offload parameters for eth0:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: off
tcp-segmentation-offload: off
udp-fragmentation-offload: off
generic-segmentation-offload: off
generic-receive-offload: on
large-receive-offload: off
ntuple-filters: off
receive-hashing: off
But We note a log of drops:

In 10 seconds We had almost 200 packets dropped.
Could you help us find the root cause of it?
