ss -temoi might give us more info

Really it looks like at some point, all incoming packets are shown by tcpdump but do not reach the TCP socket anymore.

(segs_in: might be steady, look at the d0 counter shown by ss -temoi  (dX : drop counters, sk->sk_drops)


Are you sure you do not have some iptables/netfilter stuff ?

While running your experiment, try on the server.

perf record -a -g -e skb:kfree_skb  sleep 30
perf report
