FWIW, this intermittent packet loss & hang problem continues.  We've disabled

on the network, enabled/disabled it on xen-br0, sniffed, and watched layer 2

arpwatch, all showing nothing wrong -- packets just disappear on the bridge or 
are
delayed for the external interface.  Everything else seems normal though.

Any suggestions?  Such an unstable network is useless for production 
applications
and I'm afraid we won't be able to continue using Xen...

Thanks,

John, are you seeing tcp retransmits, at least?

thanks,
Nivedita
