I've got 7 active clients (3 CPU, 2x Nvidia 1030, 1xNvidia 1650, 1x Nvidia 970), most of the time they're purring along nicely, but recently I've noticed issues with short responses from a couple of servers (18.xxx and 65.xxx). There appear to be reports of other folk seeing the same, which makes me think it's not an issue on my side.
I'll put the logs at the bottom of the post, but in the way of a theory it looks, to me, like a situation I've seen before with a load balancer or firewall terminating the connection before the data has been served to the client due to being overloaded. This can happen if the firewall/load balancer is overloaded with connections and starts dropping some to service faster or more recent connections (depends on the configuration of the piece of equipment). This isn't a 100% reproducing situation, which makes me think the network kit may be spiking above it's peak capacity occasionally rather than being constantly at it, so to investigate someone would need to dig into p95 load over short periods of time (seconds at most) rather than looking at an average over several seconds or minutes.
Anyway, hope this is useful, and now for the logs;
