    The last ACKs that you mention are window update notifications that the client
    application removed data from the recieve buffer. The recieving application
    on the FreeBSD machine fell way behind the sender. When the recieving host
    lost a packet, the new data will go into the fragment reassembly area and
    not the socket. The recieving application starts to catch up.

    Strange this does not happen a lot.
