Looks like the restart to enable debug triggered a DHCPDISCOVER, that's the easiest point to use to synchronise the PCAP and the log.
Note logs of successful DHCP ACK messages followed by "Lease lost!". ** Attachment added: "systemd-networkd logs" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1896229/+attachment/5412184/+files/systemd-networkd.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1896229 Title: systemd-networkd thinks it loses its lease every renewal Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: With a server running 20.04 on AWS, I noticed connectivity glitches once per half hour. Eventually managed to correlate it with DHCP renewals. Each time systemd-networkd does a renewal, it logs that the lease was lost and goes through a cycle of removing and re-adding the IP and routes (Even though it's the same IP and routes). This causes disruption, especially to SNATted flows; if a packet arrives for an SNATted flow during hte windows where the IP is removed then (I think) the host sends a RST and the flow gets torn down. (In any case, such flows get lost during the glitch.) I'd expect a DHCP renewal to be completely transparent; the IP shouldn't flap, it should just be updated to have a longer lifetime. I managed to capture a PCAP of the DHCP renewals along with a debug log from systemd-networkd.
