MTU is probably not working correctly.

1460 is the default. Try 1400 to see if it changes anything. If not, probbaly icmp 3:4 is being dropped somewhere along the way.

Icmp 3:4, Fragmentation Needed and Don't Fragment was Set.... it's required for pmtud to work properly. If you receive a 1500 byte packet, you might send back a icmp 3:4 packet, which tells the other side to use smaller MTU, if they do not receive that they will continue to send you too large of packets and things break. not saying this is your problem, but definately something to look into and check.
