Hi all,
I've been running into some random, very intermittent, network packet loss issues for a while. I'm am not convinced what I describe below is related to those problems, but I found some surprising results with my bitfolk vm: It seems to reliably fail to respond to some percentage of pings. It doesn't seem to be a network connectivity issue, as the VM host machine doesn't show the issue. It doesn't seem to be specific to my VM (as I got a friend to try against his bitfolk VM with similar results). It is not a new problem (it shows every day in the last 30 days, which seem to be as far back as the graphs go).
I know routers are infamous for sticking pings in low priority queues and losing them, but didn't think this applied to VMs.
Here's the graphs for my VM:

The red spikes from the top are packet loss.
Here's (assuming I found the right machine) a graph for the host:

No ping loss shown there.
Anyone any insight?
Cheers,
Joseph
