The “Delayed Write Failure” message on an Avid Nexis is actually a catch-all error for the client computer having an issue writing to NEXIS. The issue itself could be client OS, networking, or the NEXIS itself and you will just get a Delayed Write Failure message. And once you receive one error, even if it was bad packets on a single transfer, all of your future transfers are likely to fail because the NEXIS client just stops sending traffic altogether since it thinks there is a larger issue.
It may be something as small as that your server was sending files faster than the network could handle and it may have only happened once or twice but if you didn’t reboot you would continue to get the error. The NEXIS client much more sensitive to this than just using smb/nfs.
Try adding a bandwidth limit for your server in the NEXIS backend to prevent the server from inadvertently oversaturating NEXIS.
