I am observing this issue on ESXi, 6.7.0, 18828794 occasionally. If it occurs ALL VMs loose network capabilities and I have to bringdown the NIC within the ESXi. Originally I suspected a broken NIC/NIC driver.
Additional thing I noticed; this only happens when there is a lot of throughput on the NICs, e.g. Backup or TransferJobs.
Didn't find any solution yet..
