Check this KB article, we had something similar with a limit on connections related to a single Citrix host…

Just a WAG but what about packet fragmentation?

Subject: Problems with too many cifs clients behind a single IP NAT
device?
We've encountered a problem were clients behind a NAT firewall device
are having intermittent problems accessing shares on the NetApp vfiler.
Clinets that are not behind the NAT firewall device have no problems.
We've switched out the OpenBSD NAT device with an F5 BigIP and the
problem still exists.
Do you know of a limitation of the NetApp to work correctly with
hundreds of CIFS clients coming from a single IP address?
It's a NetApp FAS3070 running OnTap 7.3.5P1.
Thanks,
-Robert
