Hi,

we have exactly the same problem with the combination of SYNPROXY and 
X520 NICs. We use Dell PowerEdge R420 servers.

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2430
NIC: Intel Corporation Ethernet 10G 2P X520 Adapter (rev 01)
Kernel: Linux 4.1.13 with in-tree ixgbe 4.0.1-k

One of those servers with relatively constant TCP traffic on ports 80 + 
443 has rebooted three times, each time after about 3 days of uptime. 
Another server with less constant traffic has rebooted after 7 days. Two 
other servers with way less network traffic did not reboot within 7 days.

There is nothing in the logs when the reboots happen.

We've just updated the NIC firmware from version 16.0.21 to version 
16.5.20 but according to the changelog supplied by Dell this probably 
won't fix the problem. (I'll let you know in a few days.)

Is there anything we can do?

Thanks,
Steffen
