Network stops and starts "randomly"

One of my Proxmox hosts randomly loses network for 5-6 seconds at what appears to be random points throughout the day. I am usually using VMs via RDP, and they either pause or disconnect.

While investigating the issue I've noticed both pings to and from the host also stop, so it seems to be a host issue rather than a network one.

The timestamps seem arbitrary, but possibly only while I'm using (although I think I've seen it happen overnight too):

Code:
Tue Dec 22 19:04:51 2020: lost                               
Tue Dec 22 19:05:01 2020: established                         
Tue Dec 22 19:19:41 2020: lost                               
Tue Dec 22 19:19:46 2020: established                         
Tue Dec 22 20:45:23 2020: lost                               
Tue Dec 22 20:45:28 2020: established

On looking at dmesg I see the following around the same time:

Code:

My other proxmox host (same HW) doesn't see this issue.

Any thoughts welcome
