This has been discussed a few times. The consensus seems to be to make
sure error rates of NICs or other such metrics are included in your
monitoring solution. It would also be good to preform periodic network
tests like a full size ping with nofrag set between all nodes and have
your monitoring solution report that as well.

Although I would like to see such a feature in Ceph, the concern is
that such a feature can quickly get out of hand and that something
else that is really designed for it should do it. I can understand
where they are coming from in that regard, but having Ceph kick out a
misbehaving node quickly is appealing as well (there would have to be
a way to specify that only so many nodes could be kicked out).
