My   comments are probably completely useless, but I'll say it anyway.
I've seen this behaviour in a box with multiple network adapters where one (or more) are not connected to a network segment.

Yes, the same happened to me when I installed OpenVMS on my Integrity
box with GBit connected and not the 10/100 MBit. However if it's not
connected on a LAN it does it every 10-30 seconds. It was so annoying
I purged the EIW-0 circuit on mine (probably never use it for DECnet
in the native OS anyway).

If it is indeed the same behaviour then it's possibly a break in the
tunnel link, the timeouts seem to be pretty strict.
