Thanks for the hints. Selinux is disabled, there is no outgoing firewall  
(anymore) on this box, and the limits seems fine: 200637 open files.


Ifconfig output looks like this:

root at communiceer:~# ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr b4:99:ba:a9:3e:e5
          inet addr:x.x.x.x  Bcast:x.x.x.127  Mask:255.255.255.128
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:5967421 errors:0 dropped:21425 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:6085933 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:1223605260 (1.1 GiB)  TX bytes:2096293903 (1.9 GiB)
          Interrupt:17 Memory:fbfe0000-fc000000

I was thinking maybe there's a problem with the transmit queue, but 1000 is  
the default value for txqueuelen and I have never needed to change it.


I have the default queueing discipline:

root at communiceer:~# tc qdisc show dev eth1
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: root refcnt 2 bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1


The output of ethtool also looks good:

root at communiceer:~# ethtool eth1
Settings for eth1:
        Supported ports: [ TP ]
        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full

And the nic stats also look good:

root at communiceer:~# ethtool -S eth1
NIC statistics:

     rx_hwtstamp_cleared: 0

     tx_hwtstamp_timeouts: 0


So I really don't know where to look elsewhere..

Thanks,
