unrealistic data rate peak after network reconnection

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

After some reconnections of ethernet connections an unrealistic data rate peak appear in the network resource graph (unrealistic because it is a multiple of the physical maximum of the connection medium, e.g. 5 GB/s for 100 MBit/s ethernet), see attached screenshot for details.
