LAN disconnects after heavy network traffic

I've upgraded my system on Tuesday from 6.8.12-10-pve to 6.8.12-11-pve and it is still online, so yesterday I updated another system, which is technically identical. That one froze just few hours after the upgrade. The main difference is that the second one is also running PBS in a PVE VM.
 
Hi, sorry for resurrecting this old thread, I just would like to know if you've managed to find a solution for this problem.
My device was running fine for couple months but now after a few last updates started to exhibit the "drop of the network" behavior.
None of the 4 VMs do respond. Proxmox admin UI is inaccessible and there re no responses from ping.
This always happen after the backup starts.
The computer has the ASRock Z790M-ITX WIFI board with 2 Intel NICs. 2.5Gb and 1Gb. Only the 1Gb is used.
I've also build another almost identical system (98%), and that one is running fine except it does not have any of the recent 3 updates.

When I pull the network cable and put it back, the whole network thing resets and everything starts to communicate. There were no other actions taken trying that. The only issue is when the backup, followed by PBS, starts the system stops to respond. (SSH does not work either)

I am running Proxmox 8.3.5
Facing exactly same issue. Device is Lenovo m90q gen 5. Syslog shows
pve2 kernel: e1000e 0000:00:1f.6 eno2: Detected Hardware Unit Hang

Edit:
Code:
ethtool -K eth0 gso off gro off tso off tx off rx off rxvlan off txvlan off
seems to fix this issue. Reference : https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/intel-nic-e1000e-hardware-unit-hang.106001/
