Hello Gert and all,

Why is it that the client seems to ignore the servers MSS?
TCP segmentation offloading in your network card.

So tcpdump is lying to you if you want to know "what packets are really
travelling over the wire".

It turns out Gert was right (and I didn't even know TCP segmentation offloading exists)... but the mean thing is, even doing port mirroring to another computer, TCP segement reassembly happened on the monitoring computer in the NIC, so in wireshark I just saw one large frame, until I changed the NIC!

So, thank you Greg for your hint and Flavien for your response

Regards
