Interesting debugging: Specific packets cause some Intel gigabit ethernet controllers to reset

Fri Feb 8 20:56:59 UTC 2013

I just want you to know that this was the best piece of technical debugging I've read in years. Absolutely awesome. Thank you so much for sharing what I can only imagine was an endless series of nightmares.

I've done debugging like this before and I can only say: I feel your pain and I wish I documented my previous efforts. Great writing sir.

Cheers,
Joshua

Over the year I've read some interesting (horrifying?) tales of
debugging on NANOG.  It seems I finally have my own to contribute:

The strangest issue I've experienced, that's for sure.
