So, I have managed to do some checking

It looks like the cyclic resets are about 80-100 seconds apart. 
Before the first reset we are most likely holding the CPUs for about 3-4ms.

I managed to get hold of a kernel message saying: 
[...] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3 at net/sched/sch_generic.c:316 
dev_watchdog+0x215/0x220
[...] NETDEV WATCHDOG: enp0s31f6 (e1000e): transmit queue 0 timed out

The full trace is shown below.

One difference that I have found is that I am running with "--cpu-affinity=2,3" 
when running manually, but not when using systemd to start the program. Can 
this have an impact?
