The counter of bad TCP segments in netstat -s is growing. It happens with almost every site I access, e.g. www.ora.com. Heavier sites generate more bad segments.
Thanks.
Felix.

It could be neither. It just means that the checksum in the packet was in

by a device which supports hardware checksum calculation.
It's a plain IP over Ethernet, WWW traffic.
Are you receiving data from a WWW server? If so, what is the URL? I should be getting the same error when receiving from it since I use an i82559 for my Internet connection.
I get nonzero value with and without hardware checksumming.What does "netstat -s | grep -F -e 'bad segments received'" give (with and without hardware checksumming)?
What I should have asked for, is: Do they increase?
I think the problem here is with the sender of those packets, not with your box.
