I suspect it is out of many types of kernel memory including mbuf clusters,
hence no working TCP/UDP but ICMP works.

Please show output of commands:

grep memory /var/run/dmesg.boot
top -ores -d1
sysctl kern.ipc.nmbclusters

It would be also very useful to obtain output of "vmstat -z" in a moment of breakage.
