An FYI relative to active if_ure development:

I have been using/testing the update to if_ure
that is in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D25809 .
The summary for that reports:

QUOTE
This update adds support for:
HW VLAN tagging
HW checksum offload for IPv4 and IPv6
tx and rx aggreegation (for full gige speeds)
multiple transactions

In my testing, I am able to get 900-950Mbps depending upon
TCP or UDP, which is a significant improvement over the previous
91Mbps (~8kint/sec*1500bytes/packet*1packet/int).
END QUOTE

It has been very handy in my context.
