This problem affects pings and SSH logins such that the instance no longer responds.
For recovery, the instance has to be rebooted. After bootup, it becomes accessible again, but the same problem reappears after 24 hours.

This file /etc/sysconfig/network
does not exist. In this case, it was moved to become a different file.
