My suggestion would be:

- Look at the statistics, e.g.

ip -s li sh dev enp2s0

- apply
https://lore.kernel.org/r/E1vgtBc-00000005D6v-040n@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
to enable more statistics to work, and check the network driver
statistics:

ethtool --statistics enp2s0

to see if there's any clues for what is going on.
