Shortpath is using UDP. Cloud networks have ebbs and flows of packet uncertainty. I am finding this in all my workloads and not just AVD.

Many times I lose DNS requests, or I should say I was. it's been a few months since my app services have wined about "no host known".
Anywho, with UDP loss you need to switch to TCP and shutdown shortpath. The downside to TCP is you're going to see lots more latency in typing, viewing, scrolling of pages etc. I wouldn't say it's a fix, but not a very good one. The UDP loss should just cause a momentary glitch and move on like a voip call. Not flatout fail.
