Things to try can be: tcp_abc = 0 tcp_sack = 1 and disable TSO with: ethtool -K eth0 tso off You can try them all and see if it helps, if it does it would be useful if you could narrow it down. It's a bit hard to read the current tcpdump, could you send me (in private) a copy of the raw tcpdump file?
