Regarding the MTU workaround, I've experimented and with Ubuntu 16.04
and kernel 4.4.0-21, it is not necessary to set the MTU nearly as high
as 8192. It still fails for me with MTU set to auto or 1500 or 2000, but
with MTU = 2100, it seems to work OK with no overruns. I haven't tried
to narrow it further, but I suspect 2048 is a magic number.

MTU = 2100 seems to avoid the SSH issues I was sometimes seeing with a
much larger MTU.

  The ethernet adapter stopped working on upgrade from linux
  3.19.0-16-generic to 3.19.0-18-generic. Upon inital system start, I
  can successfully ping a remote server, but once I try any TCP
  connection, even ping fails.

  If I fallback to 3.19.0-16, everything is working OK.

  WORKAROUND: In Network manager, set the ethernet connection's MTU
  value from automatic to 8192.
