Description
This bug appears to originate in the upstream NetBSD driver source. The bug was first discovered DragonFly BSD's driver and it was determined that disabling TCP offload entirely was the correct workaround for now. DragonFly BSD patch here:

The driver does use the checksum feature and it is broken on the same host in the same way as the DragonFly BSD driver was. Linux and Windows virtio drivers do not experience this bug.

Replying to Jonathan Lane:

Please explain me how to fix it then.
Well you must be mistaken. Haiku doesn't use the BSD's driver. See the features negotiated by the driver: https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/network/virtio/virtio_net.cpp#n238
