Could be MTU differences, and the router needing to do something (e.g. 1500 on the LAN side, and 1452 on the WAN, which is usually typical for DSL / PPPoE connections). It's a bit hard to figure out what you're actually seeing happen though, since your post somehow repeated itself several times, in a pretty big mess (there wasn't a given start / end of one post, but rather several copies interleaved). -- |_|O|_| Registered Linux user #585947 |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281
