This isn't a minecraft issue per se, but a network issue.
Either:
1) You have a device with duplicate IP address on your network so periodically packets are delivered to the 'wrong' device which proceeds to terminate the 'unknown' connection, OR
2) You have a piece of security software (anti virus, firewall, web filter, etc) that is terminating the connections because it doesn't like them.

This kind of thing happens when people follow bad advice on how to host a server. Most devices do DHCP fine (for dynamic IP address assignment), so trouble arises only when people try to create a 'static' address by just configuring their current DHCP assignment as a static address. The DHCP server then eventually dynamically allocates this address to some other device and weird problems ensue (dropped connections, poor speed, dropped packets). This is an example of the worst kind of bad advice. It appears to work so it gets repeated to even more people as a 'solution', yet creates an insidious and persistent misconfiguration that will cause hard to diagnose trouble affecting all kinds of internet activity in the future, and many applications will tolerate the bad network by automatically retrying and reconnecting. Leaving you only with the feeling that your internet connection is lousy.

ModeratorAs for the 1.7.2 issue, does this happen on all servers, or just one?
