Comment 62 for bug 218126

I tried turning off checksumming, first just in domU, then in both dom0 and domU, but the network still stopped.

However I have figured out what the problem is. The domU's network is becoming unresponsive immediately after 4GB of data has been transmitted by the eth0 device, as reported by ifconfig, and the tx counter wraps around to 0. This happens about once every 24 hours on my machine, and most often happens when sending a big file - however it's not the throughput that is the problem.

Should I be opening a new report for this bug, or it related to the above?
