>Description:
The system has 2 fxp interfaces, currently working w/o polling. load averages are about 0.5. When network load gets higher, packet drops start to appear:

netstat -d 1:

network performance degrades greatly when drops are present (latencies get very high). This problem didn't exist on 4.11-stable - it ran smoothly, w/o any drops under any loads.
>How-To-Repeat:
just wait until there are about 40 ftp/smb clients connected.

Responsible-Changed-Why:  
This seems more like an networking bug then a i386 specific 
bug.  Set it to the correct maintainer.
