Interesting find
PC obtained a new lease shortly before the CPF5140 was posted.
I'm not a network person, but could there have been an issue with leases expiring and being renewed?

Started at 12:45.
Multiple iSeries LPARs - Pencor05, Pencor06, Pencor07, Penco08 My connections to 4 different LPARS, 3 different NICS, all at the same time.
Not all users at once.
About 20 every minute.
Each user only once (so far)
No entries in any logs. PAL, LIC, QHST
Problem appears to have stopped around 14:25.
iSeries performance graph showed high number of TCP connection resets during the 12:45 thru 14:25 problem window.
from 3 LPARS, 3 different NICs
Appears that only 5250 Client Access and GUI was impacted (PC traffic). from 3 LPARS, 3 different NICs All other applications (hundreds) connecting to both internal and external remotes were fine.
Possibly an issue with QTVDEVICE jobs ???

We saw something similar a few years ago. Turned out it was a glitch in an addressing table in one of our switches.
