1) It seems to happen every night (which is when the Ceph cluster is
most used). Not sure if it's at a specific time or whether anything else
could be interacting with it - I'll see if I can narrow this down. I'm
trying to run some tests to see whether I can force it to happen by
throwing a lot of traffic at it (using iperf3 - if you have better
suggestions on how to generate load please let me know).

2) As above, trying network benchmark tool to see if it triggers. If
not, I'll specifically push load through Ceph to see if I can reliably
re-trigger the failure.

3) I thought the initial report was about virtio network with the
suggestion that e1000 might solve it but would bring it's own issues
with it. I am currently on virtio, but may change over to e1000 to see
if the problem persists. Ideally wouldn't want this as a long term
solution as I have previously found e1000 to be slower.

4) Couldn't see anything in the logs on either the host or the guest
suggesting that there was anything going on. The guest doesn't seem to
be aware that the NIC isn't functional but traffic just doesn't seem to
flow over it.
