Here is a dump using 3.11.10 against a non-SACK-enabled loadbalancer:

http://abstrakt.bengler.no/tcp-issues-s3-nosack-3.11.10.pcap.bz2

The transfer shows lots of DUPACKs and retransmits, but this does not seem to have as bad an effect as it did with the failing transfer we saw on newer kernels:

http://abstrakt.bengler.no/tcp-issues-s3-failure.pcap.bz2

One big difference, which Rick touched on earlier, is that the newer kernels keep sending TCP window updates as it’s going through the retransmits. The older kernel does not do this.
