There shouldn't be any data loss, since the guest expects the network to
be lossy.  But this can cause performance drops due to retries.

Most likely the guest's rx queue length is greater than the host's.  You
might try

   ifconfig vnet0 txqueuelen 1500

(and so on for every interface)


or perhaps reducing the guests' txqueuelen.
