I immediately replaced the switch with a different brand/model and the problem persists. Sometimes traffic drops to zero, others it drops to 50%, problem is very random but seems to occur with much more frequency during high PPS (pushing high traffic / iperf does not induce problem) Could this be MTU? I've tried flow control, hard code duplex, stp on/off etc I'm at a loss any ideas? TJ Trout Volt Broadband
