Another fun system that can cause similar effects to the above is 
network-manager. This would insist on dropping my connection every so many 
minutes and remaking it, static dhcp IP addresses and all.

network-manager is completely unnecessary either on back end or front end unless 
you need the wifi functionality, in which cases dropped connections are a known 
hazard. It is easy enough to remove.
