Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


I have to agree it's an ugly deal when iperf gives good results. Puts
it's validity as a good performance measurement tool into perspective.
Another pointer might have been the error counters in ifconfig for that
interface.
The real paranoid person might consider one's monitoring tool to observe
things like that and notify the sysadmins, but I guess you end up
spending more time in configuring the monitoring tool than fixing real
issues.
