Interesting.

Could you take some tcpdump/pcap with various tcp_limit_output_bytes
values ?

echo 131072 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes
tcpdump -p -i wlanX -s 128 -c 20000 -w 128k.pcap

echo 262144 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes
tcpdump -p -i wlanX -s 128 -c 20000 -w 256k.pcap

...

Thanks !
