The problem has manifested over several virtual and physical NICS from various 
vendors.
I noticed shortly after the time I had an issue on a Proliant that HP released 
a firmware
update for the Broadcoms on it, so I applied it and it never helped.

Apologize about the Buffer issue, I now recall reading about that ages ago when 
I first
setup Bacula. It's been set along with a debug on the affected client and I 
will see
how this helps over the next few days.

No encryption used here.
