On the local switch(es) serving your AG node machines.  As I'm sure your 
network person will point out, disabling IGMP-snooping/CGMP will cause 
multicast traffic to be flooded on the subnet, but it might help rule 
out a failure mode.  Our own CGMP problem caused seemingly-random 
episodes of severe packet loss, but there was no regular cycle.  We 
eventually moved the AG-node machines to a dedicated subnet, which is 
now CGMP-free.
