I've changed my ruleset as you suggested, and now I'm seeing packets being filtered. I'll wait and see how that's affecting stability and throughput of the connection. In any case I'm wondering why netfilter doesn't consider these packets to be part of a connection. Is there a known problem with netfilter and TCP SACK? Or did I miss something while looking at the rejected packets? I've enabled logging via ulogd now and have a look at what's being filtered now. In the meantime thanks a lot for your help!
