Re: [Xen-users] intermittent network hangs

> John, are you seeing tcp retransmits, at least?

No, although I'm no expert when it comes to tcpdump.  Here's the relevant 
snippet
of the sniff from the domU:

10:07:34.826810 IP 10.0.15.67 > helpdesk.ivytech.edu: icmp 64: echo request seq

15376 <nop,nop,timestamp 331982278 25998232>
10:07:39.826972 IP 10.0.15.67 > helpdesk.ivytech.edu: icmp 64: echo request seq 
199
10:07:40.827022 IP 10.0.15.67 > helpdesk.ivytech.edu: icmp 64: echo request seq 
200
10:07:41.827073 IP 10.0.15.67 > helpdesk.ivytech.edu: icmp 64: echo request seq 
201

Basically, I was running the tcpdump from domU (helpdesk.ivytech.edu) and ssh'd
into it and pinging it from 10.0.15.67.  The dump shows the missing icmp echo's
for seq's 196, 197, and 198, during which time there was no response to ssh
traffic either (although it eventually catches up, but that's likely 
ssh-specific
behavior anyway, not tcp retrans).
