These packets look like normal TSO packets. Linux will send a
packet containing more data than fits in a packet to the NIC. The
NIC will then segment the packet for us.

In order to see what really goes out, you'll need to run a packet
dump beyond the NIC.

If that is not possible, you can try disabling TSO with ethtool -K.

Cheers,
