This guide will help you fix Ubuntu 20.04 TCP packet drops on high load with the intel e1000e driver.
Use at your own risk, I do not take any responsibility if your stuff breaks. BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE!
To confirm this issue happens to you, look for the message Reset adapter unexpectedly
in /var/log/dmesg
:
Use the command cat /var/log/dmesg | grep "Reset adapter unexpectedly"
If no messages show up, do the command again once you notice huge packet loss, if still nothing shows up - you're having a different issue.
