OK thank you. Unfortunately I can't boot it here as my only rootfs is
a squashfs and it is not enabled in this kernel.

Interesting one, I was not aware of it, I'll probably add it to my
trees to stop relying on build scripts.

OK I've been running mine at this exact rate as well (2803 pps) for
11 minutes now. I disabled icmp_ratelimit to ensure that I got as
many responses as requests. No problem so far.

I've put my working images here :

One is done with my config, the other one with your config in which
I added support for squashfs and blk_dev_ram that I'm using to boot
a rootfs loaded in memory by the boot loader.

I can't make it fail either. I'm really starting to suspect a hardware
issue...

Next step should be that you test both kernels to be sure.

Cheers,
Willy
