Many (but not all) devices including an Intel 82579LM NIC have a hardware fault that results in packet loss that is worked around by the following recent patch: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/109926/

More detail provided here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713315

It would be useful for this patch to be applied to the distribution kernel in current supported releases as this fault exists on a large number of recent devices.
