Next observation: After some - long - time (> 15 minutes) a hanging ping says: ping: sendto: Network is unreachable After this, without doing anything, i can start ping again and it works: $:~# ping 134.86.56.80 PING 134.86.56.80 (134.86.56.80): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Network is unreachable $:~# ping 134.86.56.80 PING 134.86.56.80 (134.86.56.80): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 134.86.56.80: seq=0 ttl=63 time=3.206 ms 64 bytes from 134.86.56.80: seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.662 ms Looks like a higher rate of transfers causes a stall or retries or whatever - but without any message i'm lost. I can reproduce this 100%. Someone there who has any advice what i can do to track this down? Best regards Carsten
