+<p class="Pp">The GEM can perform TCP/UDP/IP checksum offloading. However, when
+ transmit checksum offloading is enabled, the GEM generates and replaces
+ checksums for all packets it transmits. In a system that is forwarding
+ packets, the device could potentially correct the checksum of packet that
+ was corrupted in transit. For this reason, checksum offloading is disabled
+ by default but can be enabled using ifconfig(8).</p>
+<p class="Pp">When receive checksum offloading is enabled, the device will
+ discard packets with bad TCP/UDP/IP checksums. The bad packets will not be
+ counted in any <a class="Xr">netstat(1)</a> statistics. There are
+ <a class="Xr">sysctl(8)</a> variables that count packets discarded by the
+ hardware (see below).</p>
+<p class="Pp">The GEM used in the Zynq-7000 has a bug such that the receiver can
+ potentially freeze up under a high load. The issue is described in sec. 16.7
+ &quot;Known Issues&quot; of the Zynq-7000 SoC Technical Reference Manual
+ (Xilinx UG585 v1.7). The <code class="Nm">cgem</code> driver implements the
+ work-around suggested in the manual. It is believed that the bug does not
+ exist in the Zynq UltraScale+ and SiFive SoCs so the work-around is disabled
+ in those instances and enabled in all others. The work-around can be
+ disabled by setting the <var class="Va">dev.cgem.%d.rxhangwar</var>
+ <a class="Xr">sysctl(8)</a> variable to 0.</p>
