    Ouch, this was fixed on one machine yesterday, but not the other one I
    used this morning, sorry.
    
    [PATCH V5 net-next] neigh: new unresolved queue limits
    
    unres_qlen is the number of frames we are able to queue per unresolved
    neighbour. Its default value (3) was never changed and is responsible
    for strange drops, especially if IP fragments are used, or multiple
    sessions start in parallel. Even a single tcp flow can hit this limit.
    
    $ arp -d 192.168.20.108 ; ping -c 2 -s 8000 192.168.20.108
