I don't know how you can be so sure. Turning tcp_sack off instantly
resovles the problem and all connections are succesful. I can't
imagine even the most far-fetched scenario where a router or every
single remote endpoints would suddenly stop causing the problem just
by removing a single TCP option.

I will see if I can do that, but it's major pain with 2000 hosts.
Plus, there is application data in the packets that I can't allow into
the public domain. I really don't think I can pull it off... I
literally would have to go through our legal department.

What's a NET router? I am behind a Cisco router and a firewall, but
these network components have completely been replaced/rebuilt several
times in the 4+ years that we've had this problem. I've looked at the
logs there and neither are doing anything other than passing the
traffic along.

I'm using ip_conntrack, but the limit I have for max entries is 65K.
The most I've seen in there are a couple thousand- that was one of the
first things I monitored very closely.
