Yes, the same thing happened to my Ubuntu 12.04 server which is my main router to my LAN with the same kernel. The lost time and frustration trying to figure it out was staggering. I also suffered significant collateral damage. In my case the root issue was MTU and some new enforcement thereof, giving a lot ICMP packets saying something like: "ICMP port unreachable, packet too long and don't fragment bit is set" O.K. so the real root issue is that some clients (windows clients and only a couple of NIC cards (it seems)) ignore the MTU and send larger packets. Anyway, and in my case, the issue is resolved in the next kernel, or by going back to the previous kernel.
