RE: [bwm-tools-tech] Problems with bwmd

[Gianluca F. <g.f...@io...>]

Hi Nigel,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply, I will download and istall the latest
devel snapshot today and try it right out.
The daemon was restarted this morning about a quarter to nine and as u saw
the log reported the error about half an hour after.
Yesterday the daemon ran for the whole day and the error occurred at night.
It seems to be happening randomly.

Best regards,

Gianluca

I saw this once aswell..... that is once few years!

I think it could be related to packets with ECN bit set, bwm-tools tries
to handle this... although I think that handling might be a bit b0rked.

Someone else reported a similar problem, I therefore disabled
ECN/QOS/PREC bit fiddling in the latest devel snapshot.

Can you try the latest snapshot and see if it doesn't solve your problem?

By the way, how often does it occur?
