Hi all,

I'm working with a custom stm32f767 based board and px4 project fork with
nuttx-10.0.0+ and uploading data (~900KB) to the board using mavlink_ftp.

If mavlink is over serial port everything is fine and long transfer going
uninterruptedly, but if mavlink is over UDP link the ftp file transfer
sometimes stumbles: PC doesn't receive acknowledgment, wait for timeout,
retry request and continue to transfer normally some time until next
stumble.

According to mavlink_ftp debug, at that moment the board doesn't receive
the last ftp mavlink package, so it doesn't send ack. I've checked with
wireshark, a PC definitely sends a UDP packet out, but the board doesn't
receive this mavlink packet.
I can reproduce this issue easily, but didn't notice any regularity in the
size of data between losses.

When I've added DEBUG_FEATURES, DEBUG_ERROR, DEBUG_NET, DEBUG_NET_ERROR to
config I can't reproduce the issue, no loss in UDP transfer.

Mavlink FTP upload is quite simple: on each request there is the
acknowledgement, no burst sending, so, as I see it, the issue should not be
related to buffer overflow.

Any thoughts on how to debug this or maybe someone remember potentially
related fixes in UDP/Ethernet in recent NuttX? Thanks in advance for help!
