I'm in bastille atm, but have been in all of them and TrueNAS core. and libvirt over on the other unix.

Whys the author disabling tso and lro? Whats the motivation?

I'm not familiar with the other flags.

  They have also soft-deprecated the ability to have any layer 3 addresses on member interfaces which makes it behave like a real hardware switch. The net.link.bridge.member_ifaddrs sysctl controls this behavior and it will be removed in FreeBSD 16.0-RELEASE, same as if set to zero.

If that's right, how does that interact with things like Linux's veth pairs? [0] Can the half of the pair that's not a member of the bridge have an IP address?

[0] I assume something like that exists in FreeBSD-land.

Did anything special or new happened on FreeBSD land?
