Hello We are seeing a scalability / stability issue with dhcpcd under high multi-interface load on a FreeBSD-based appliance. The issue was initially observed on IPv6, but further testing shows that IPv4 is affected as well. When many interfaces / VLANs are managed by dhcpcd at the same time, the daemon can enter repeated receive-side error loops and eventually stop responding properly to management signals. This makes it difficult or impossible to reload or stop the daemon cleanly. Environment dhcpcd version initially tested: 10.2.2 Also tested with: 10.3.1 Platform: FreeBSD-based appliance Many active interfaces / VLANs IPv4 and IPv6 enabled across multiple interfaces dhcpcd contrib version, unmodified Problem When dhcpcd manages many interfaces, it becomes unstable beyond a certain interface count. The issue was first observed on the IPv6 path, with repeated receive errors and unreliable behavior when many VLANs were active. However, further investigation shows that the issue is n
