Increase read_timeout (nessusd.conf or your policy) and the timeouts
for find_service.nasl (preferences). The default is 5 s IIRC, it might
be too small if packets are lost.

If the throughput is sufficient, increase max_checks -- although it
probably does not make much sense to go over 6 or 8. If the throughput
is limited, then you cannot do that and your scan will be slow.
Is this connection reliable and is the RTT stable?
