I have found the source of the dips, if not the final cause. For a
refresher, this was a 10-second long forced dip in traffic — nearly to nil
on the uplink, and 75-80% reduction on downlink. Easily replicable by
pushing iperf and watching interfaces as well as per-second results.

ICMP+SNMP polling once per minute was causing them. My guess is still that
it's EPC related, as ICMP and SNMP results do get returned — eventually.
The poller puts out a peak of 600 pps for the whole network, so the actual
load for the LTE bearer ought to be much less than that.

Anyone else doing ICMP or SNMP polling, perhaps at longer intervals? (My
guess is that we wouldn't have caught this at 5 minute intervals or longer.)
