I use the wireshark. But then this does not happen for all packets and so I
don't know if it be a problem with the Wireshark here. In anycase the
communication stops and I can see retransmissions occuring for the same
packet, but every time this one gets the checksum error. I don't see any
chance of recovery either, other than doing a shutdown of the machine and
bringing it back online.
