I have reproduced it using two USB network cards connected to each 
other. The test tool sends UDP packets containing a counter and listens 
on the other interface, it is available at
https://github.com/jakob-tsd/pfifo_stress/blob/master/pfifo_stress.py

Here is what I get:

root@rk3399-q7:~# ./pfifo_stress.py

expected ctr 0xcdc, received 0xcdd
expected ctr 0xcde, received 0xcdc
expected ctr 0xcdd, received 0xcde
