Sorry for being confused.

I'm a bit stumped at this point, though did I see that you're using vmxnet3 on VMware?  I will say that when these features were brought up, they assumed a vNIC over a physical NIC on metal.  I'm not sure if there's a bizarre interaction with vmxnet3 or not.

One other thing, and I'd have to consult a larger audience, I thought flowadm worked as low a units of 1Mbit/sec, but it could be units of 10Mbit/sec.  (Flowadm was designed for GigE adapters...)  It's a function of the system's hz for bizarre reasons, and I'm wondering if being on VMware affects those or not.

You can mess with this if you wish:
