How are you certain that there are no load balanced paths along the way? Even if there are none shown in your traceroutes there may still be routes in your providers network that are doing this (MPLS with propogate-ttl disabled) that would mean you wouldn't see it happening. Just my 2 cents...

Chris, there's no QoS anywhere on the path to avoid this kind of problems. As for the sequence being received right int the first place, we do have servers monitoring the channels in Sao Paulo and NY and we see gaps (out-of-sequence packets) only in NY. Giving a quick look at live capture I see

There is no part of this path with parallel, load-balanced connections, which could be a obvious cause. What else could I check? The packets do arrive, so they are not being dropped on the way, but they arrive out of sequence, being useless to the application. I've seen UDP packets (also
