i just upgraded the Intel NIC firmware and still there is no improvement
for this.. It is falling under same issue. Following are NIC firmware
details.

ethtool -i vmnic4

driver: i40e

version: 1.3.45

firmware-version: 5.60 0x80002dab 1.1618.0

bus-info: 0000:05:00.0

Can someone pls help me to fix this. is this known issue, or did i missed
something?

Thanks in Advance
