Without the patch, the TCP flow over vmxnet3 driver on a _router_ node is abysmally slow. I am running a bunch of CentOS servers on VMware ESXi 4.1U1 hosts with multiple of VLANs. The best network performance is obtainable with vmxnet3 network driver in normal case. This driver includes so called LRO optimization, which boosts TCP flow network performance on end...
