Hello

I've been trying to solve a problem (bug ?) with Proxmox VMs for a few hours now (ok maybe somme days ?), it's driving me crazy. I'll try to be clear and as precise as possible to explain.
This bug is actually quite simple to reproduce once identified (in my context), what at first seems to be a random network problem. Symptom: one time the VM is on the network (ping ok from a client computer), one time no (no ping), one time yes, etc.
Here are my configurations and the steps to reproduce the bug.

Physical server, Proxmox installed from ISO in 6 originally and upgraded to 7 with dist-upgrade method. The machine is clean, there are only 2 test VMs on it (to try to solve this bug). While one VM is used to reproduce the network pb, the other is just here to check if my network si going well (and it is).

I installed a VM guest, with debian 11, minimal version, no packages, just ssh. The guest work like a charm, network is ok. Host / Guest / client are on different vlan by the way but no pb here as you can see.

Bash: 
root@guest-vm:~# ip a

Now I want to make a samba files server on VM so I install some packages,
Bash: 
root@guest-vm:~# apt install krb5-user samba winbind libnss-winbind

These few packages installed all these dependencies too :
Bash: 
attr bind9-host bind9-libs ibverbs-providers krb5-config libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3 libboost-iostreams1.74.0 libboost-thread1.74.0 libcephfs2 libcups2 libfstrm0 libgfapi0 libgfrpc0 libgfxdr0 libglusterfs0 libgpgme11 libgssrpc4 libibverbs1 libicu67

I do not modify any configuration files, nothing, but just after installation my VM just immediatly going crazy, as you can see with this mtr command. I have many lost of packets from another client (but same thing happen with mtr launched from hostprxmx).

Bash: 
root@192.168.1.4:~# mtr guest-vm                                                                  Packets               Pings

If I remove the samba package (but not all dependencies) VM work again perfectly...
Bash: 
root@guest-vm:~# apt remove krb5-user samba winbind libnss-winbind

dmesg revealed nothing when the pb occured.

I do not understand what's going on, I tried to find similar pb in the forum and tried many stuff but nothing was conclusive. Now, I do not even know where to investiguate more...I'm very confused about this pb and any clue, lead or light is welcome.
Thanks a lot !
 
Thx for taking time to answer. Good eyes and deduction, I copied and pasted a mtr from a different subnet but it's not the pb here.
As you can see from this 2 new mtr below, this time one from same subnet and one another subnet, launched at the same time.
I wasn't very carreful about that because we are using Cisco ACI where subnet and vlan are not used as usual (In fact I should have talked about EPG but I didn't want to complicate it cause I don't think this is useful for resolution, maybe I'm wrong that said, but anyway...)
From Cisco it appears this double jump is "normal" but don't know exactly why ^^
So....to be more precise here are 2 mtr from same EPG but 2 different hosts from different subnet IP.
