Try disabling jumbo frames. I have seen a lot of cases of jumbo
frames causing a stall in the switch ports on some switches. Also
if using jumbo frames, make sure flow control isn't a problem as
a lot of switches have inadequate port buffers to handle flow
control and jumbo frames.
To note: Jumbo frames on 1Gbe isn't necessary and will in fact
increase latency which will decrease throughput. Jumbo frames
is really meant to reduce interrupts and is a lot more
affective with 10Gbe then 1Gbe. On 1Gbe if interrupts are
running too high I would use interrupt coalescence as a first
attempt to reduce them.
