Yes, GRO/TSO are not good for speeds below 10Mb.
In your case, you probably have one Gigabit ethernet (allowing GRO
packets being constructed), forwarding to the WAN at 750 kbits ...
Definitely GRO should be turned off in this case.
A GSO packet of 64KB would take about 600ms to be transmitted !
Ideally, we should segment GSO packets at these low forwarding rates,
and keep GRO turned on for local traffic (not forwarded)
