Everything you've described is all the signs of exhausting the state
table, which is 30,000 max states (and hard coded, you cannot easily
increase it).

Given your description of the network, I doubt if it's big enough to
exhaust the state table with normal traffic.  Which means you probably
have a machine infected with a bot, worm, or something of that nature.
 Or using some application that does something pretty dumb.  Check
your state table under diagnostics to see what's using up all the
states.
