Very small window. That is not exactly normal.

Does it help if you turn the tcp options off ?
(echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_{window_scaling,sack,timestamps)

Linux does window probing now.
This means Linux decided that the window is far too small and it is better *
to wait for a bigger one. The bigger one never comes.

Linux's small window handling in TCP could be certainly improved, although
using a 4096 window on the internet looks rather bogus too.

Could you try if this patch helps?
