This sounds a lot like the problem last year in MAE-East before they upgraded to FDDI. A bug in *many* hardware implementations dropped packets if the interpacket arrival time was too small (even though the inbterpacket spacing was within spec.) I don't recall anyone ever fixing the problem tho' It even affected several sniffers so they would not see the packets, and hence not record the drop....
