Erratic outbound ping times on B200 UCS

Hi, I have UCS setup with 30 B200 M3s running ESXi 5.5, no issues. (see next post, same issue on ESX exists)

When installing 2008 R2 boot from iSCSI, I occasionally see errors in event log "The initiator could not send an iSCSI PDU" amongst others, indicating my iSCSI session was interrupted. 

 

When pinging the default gateway from the server I see erratic pings. eg. 

1ms

1ms

1ms

23ms

1ms

1ms

45ms

1ms

1ms

 

Anybody seen this before or have any ideas? 

I have tried updating the network drivers to the latest versions.

Actually just checked and can see this behaviour from ESXi 5.5 too...
