Hi,

Apologies if I am not suscribed to this list.

I have setup a linux bridge using 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] cards. Im
running it on RH 7.3 2.4.19 kernel.
Lately, I have seen the following errors on the bridge

Feb 10 07:40:24 safe kernel: eth2: Too much work in interrupt, status e401.
Feb 10 07:40:52 safe last message repeated 3 times
Feb 10 08:12:16 safe kernel: br0: received tcn bpdu on port 1(eth2)
Feb 10 08:12:16 safe kernel: br0: topology change detected, sending tcn bpdu
Feb 10 08:13:09 safe kernel: br0: received tcn bpdu on port 1(eth2)
Feb 10 08:13:09 safe kernel: br0: topology change detected, sending tcn bpdu

Im currently pushing around 45Mbs/20Mbs (down/up)  of traffic on the
bridge (doing some bandwidth management) and Im concerned about its
performance and how it would scale.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
