Installing 3.14.1 as per comment #17 fixed these connectivity issues for
us as well, but it doesn't look like the 3.14.1 kernel made it anywhere
near the 14.04.1 release. There is also no mention of this or any
related bugs in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes/ChangeSummary/14.04.1.

What else can we do except manually install 3.14.1, which is obviously
not a proper solution?

Title:
  kvm virtio netdevs lose network connectivity under "enough" load

Status in libvirt virtualization API:
  New
Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Networking breaks after awhile in kvm guests using virtio networking.
  We run data intensive jobs on our virtual cluster (OpenStack Grizzly
  Installed on Ubuntu 12.04 Server).  The job runs fine on a single
  worker VM (no data transfer involved). As soon as I add more nodes
  where the workers need to exchange some data, one of the worker VM
  goes down. Ping responds with 'host unreachable'. Logging in via the
  serial console shows no problems: eth0 is up, can ping the local host,
  but no outside connectivity. Restart the network
  (/etc/init.d/networking restart) does nothing. Reboot the machine and
  it comes alive again.

  I am reporting this for spark but this should be valid for any
  applications that involve fast data transfer between VMs. The bug has
  been reported in centos forums as well.
