Nick,
Are you using switches or hubs? We have seen problems like that
on hub based systems resulting from Ethernet collision chains
rarely (once in many transmissions) becoming long enough to push
the Ethernet collision retry delay exponential back off into a
run permit heartbeat timeout situation.
Your sniffer will probably tell you what the maximum collision
retry count has been.
When this is running do you see unprocessed message bytes waiting
around continuously in either Solaris or vxWorks? To find out run
"netstat | grep 5064" on Solaris and inetstatShow on vxWorks.
