	Ah, too bad, it would have been nice to be able to pinpoint this closer (is this effect a quirk/bug in westwood+ or caused by the “archaic” lack of SACKs). But this list contains vast knowledge about networking, so I hope that someone has an idea how to get closer to the root-cause even without root access on the server. Oh, maybe you can ask the hosting company/ owner of the server to switch the tcp for you?
