A few notes:
The game itself doesn't freeze. I can continue playing it on my desktop.
I can resume the game after rebooting the Link. I have to alt-tab back in, though.
This happens on both stable and beta bulids. A Link reset doesn't help.
This occurs on both ethernet and wifi. Wifi was flawless previously (I'm a network engineer - I've got a badass network).
This occurs consistently - within five minutes of playing a game. ANY game.
My desktop is a linux system with an nvidia gtx 960 - it plays every game perfectly - and doesn't freeze or jitter like the link. I have changed nothing about it.
Problem persists on stable and beta builds; I've gone back to build 499 and the problem persists.
Here is my streaming log:

I'd appreciate any help! Even if your steam link works great with your setup, I'd like to know. Thanks.

I don't think it's the Link, either - falling back to old builds hasn't helped, nor has switching to the stable build of Steam. I've also disabled hardware decoding/hardware encoding at various intervals, to no avail. However my Steam games play GREAT, just not on the Link. So something must be going on.
I do have VNC running, I wonder if that is related? EDIT: nope, disabling VNC didn't help.

Either way, I'll use this as a base and see what happens.
Edit:
Nope, problem returned immediately. Multiple attempts.

I had in the past some weird problems with my router when I was streaming movies from my NAS to TV like scrambling and freezing some times.Now my router just handles the traffic through the Internet and I dont overload it with local network streaming etc,My switches handle that.
I have like 12 devices on my home network and all are using my 2 gigabyte switches instead of router ports and never had an issue so far.
