Pieter De Wit, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu server? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/ .

If it remains an issue, please just make a comment to this.

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc6

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  After 1000's of small connections traffic on those connections stop

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I have two VM's setup with e1000 drivers. I use iperf in server mode
  on the one and in client mode on the other. On the client I run the
  following in a while "true" loop:

  iperf -c <server_ip> -P 8 -i 5 -l 1k

  I run about 50 of those in background.

  After about 40 seconds traffic just stops. new connections are still
  made and working, but these all stop. Something like ping never stops
  and I can ssh to the box and all other connections are maintained.

  I do see a message in the kernel about SYN cookies being sent, but
  disabling this doesn't solve the problem.

  Switching the network to vmnet3 solves the problem, but this has a
  bunch of issues itself.

  Thanks !
