Yep- UDP is pretty much the issue. I've got a 2950 up for ~20 days, 100s
of GB's of traffic over TCP (SSH & PostgreSQL in particular) and no
problems. One little snippit of udp (raw, NFS, or for some odd reason,
even Webmin over SSL) and it barfs. Oh, and this is on 6.1 amd64
release. (yes, I'll update to 6-2 beta sometime soon when I'm feeling
lucky.. fortunately for me I need neither webmin nor UDP/NFS at the
moment ;)
