How do we find out where icmp packets are getting dropped?

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • When we try to ping one host, it succeeds, but when we ping another host on the same network, it fails.
  • On other hosts where this has happened, restarting the network or rebooting the server fix the problem.
  • Breaking the bond between eth0 and eth1 and configuring the interface with an ip address outside of the bond also fixes the problem.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6
  • Mellanox OFED 10-Gigabit Ethernet driver
