If this problem indeed exists, then it is a JVM problem. Tomcat obviously can't make a difference it is sending bytes on the LAN or on a WAN, and doesn't do anything unusal when it comes to bytes output. That being said, some people are actually using TC on the internet without corruption or any problem, so I think even if you think it is not your fault, it is a configuration issue on your side. I'm regularly closing bug 4668 for that reason.
