But can you clarify who is dropping who (i.e. which end is timing out)? =
  The message on LEGATO says "dropped by adjacent node" not "dropping adjac=
ent node", which makes it sound as if MIM is timing out, not LEGATO (and th=
en somehow telling LEGATO that, which is another mystery).

Or is this just a poorly worded message?

No, the message is very precise.

If you see a message on LEGATO which reports adjacency MIM down for that re=
ason, it means LEGATO received an Ethernet router hello message from MIM th=
at no longer lists LEGATO as one of the routers that MIM can see.

MIM will have a reason for not reporting LEGATO any longer.   It should have=
logged a message stating that reason.

When we where chasing another problem, it was found that packets
"disapear" in the Ethernet fabric at Update, sometimes. 

Maybe Johnny can make a small map of the current topology with all
involved things and the lan-speeds?
