      We run pfSense virtualized under KVM. On the linux side, the virtio veth interfaces connect to Linux bridges. Wed of last week, without restarting or changing any rules, we started seeing really strange behavior in our RRD graphs… it's almost like our traffic is getting reflected back into the interface. At the same point in time, our users started complaining about poor VOIP quality. Example graph attached.

      I don't know where to even start to get to the bottom of this. We've restarted all the hardware with no luck. We're seeing dropped monitoring ICMP pings on the gateways now as well. Any pointers much appreciated!

      EDIT, interface config on the Linux side:

      auto lan0
      iface lan0 inet static
      address 192.168.127.240
