Comment 10 for bug 1325560

I am seeing a similar issue but instead of the network breaking I get very variable latency. It's like the VM is pausing.

This only happens with virtio networking. Switching to e1000 fixes the issue.

Ubuntu 14.04 3.13.0-30-generic on both the host machines and VM's with bridge networking.
