I've found the 10GbE transmit side to be very finnicky. I can get it to work reliably if I manually reset it after loading the model and if I don't rely on the tx_afull signal. I think what goes wrong is that I see tx_afull, send end of frame, then start sending the next frame. The beginning of the next frame overflows the buffer because the first frame hasn't cleared out of the buffer yet. So instead I just could bytes sent and end the frame myself.
