Hi,
after upgrading conova-node01.debian.org to the stretch-backports kernel
to see if #929359 was reproducible, it started dropping packets. This
was not happening prior to the upgrade.
Running "ip link set dev eth0 mtu 1504" seems to make things work.

Hi
This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.
If you can reproduce it with
- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports
please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.
Regards,
Salvatore
