I've been frustrated with this issue for months. My specific symptom was randomly getting booted. No rhyme or reason. After reading through much of this thread and a few other sources I decided to look into the priority settings for my router. Verizon Broadband. I set a priority specifically for Minecraft to focus on Packets. Before I made the change I was getting booted every 5 minutes or less. After the change I haven't crashed once. Still holding my breath my so far so good. Mac server. Running latest forge (had same issue with vanilla). Running it out of my home. Verizon router M1424WR Logged into my router. Went to Advanced / Traffic Priority. Set the following....
Source Address: Any Destination Address: Any Protocol: Minecraft (Selected from dropdown) Operation Priority: 7 Apply QoS on: Packet
I know many admins are running different equipment and some are renting servers so this won't really help you. But for you home hosts, look into Traffic Priority on your router. Will edit or post again if the problem comes back. But I would have expected serval 'crashes' by now.
