Summary: netkvm.sys stops sending/receiving on Windows Server 2003 VM

Initial Comment:
This usually happens within an hour or two of starting the interface.  It can be cured temporarily by disabling/enabling the adapter within Windows.  I've run the Windows interface with log level set to 2 -- when traffic stops it still logs outgoing traffic as normal but ParaNdis_ProcessRxPath stops being logged.  I suspect this is to do with the traffic content or timing as I cannot reproduce this with iperf, but only with external traffic to a website hosted on the machine. 

What further steps can I take to debug this issue?

Message:
Another thing to test - could you please run the guest without "/hugepages"
option.

Message:
1. Could you please attach the log
2. Could you be more specific on the scenario? Are you running some tests
or network application? 
3. You could raise debug level even more to level 6 - that would give the
information about the rings (how much space is left and etc) 
4. In the code you could add debug prints to ParaNdis5_MiniportISR to
check if the driver even receives the interrupt.


Thanks.

should have said that this was tested both with the binary driver from:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/2/kvm-guest-drivers-windows-2.zip/download

and also a self-compiled driver from the kvm git tree
