I wonder if there is a notable difference between
monitoring traffic from 2 places:
A) from the machine seeing the problem
vs.
B) from a machine not having problems but
connected were all the traffic would be
on the wire it is connected to.
It may be that monitoring from both and
comparing/contrasting the reported traffic
from the two provides additional evidence.
There may be modes of monitoring that are
relevant for this. But I'm not familiar
with any detail here.
For reference:
