Okay.  On an otherwise idle machine, I started a regular 64-byte ping
(to rule out TCP), and I was getting regular packet loss (50 responses
were seen for 89 packets or 43.8% packet loss).  Here is the debug
output for that time:

Additionally, while I wasn't seeing a large number of interrupts, I
tried disabling MSI/MSI-X just as a test, and that had no effect.
Netstat-wise, I have currently received 5645 packets with 847 input
errors.  TCP-wise, I have received 3447 TCP packets with 334
out-of-order packets.

Thanks for your help.

Joe
