Hi,

I first detected this with 5.7.6 but it seems to apply as far back as 5.6.1...
(so, 5.7.8 client -> nat (5.6.1 -> 5.8-rc4 -> server 5.7.7)

It seems to me that the window size doesn't advance, so i did revert
the tcp: grow window for OOO packets only for SACK flows [1]
but it did no difference...

I have a 384 MB tcpdump of a iperf3 session that starts low and then
actually starts to get the bandwidth...
I do use BBR - I have tried with cubic... it didn't help  - the NAT
machine does use fq but changing it doesn't seem to yield any other
results.

Doing -P10 gives you the bandwith and can sometimes break the
stalemate but you'll end up back with the lower transfer speed again.
(it only seems to apply to NAT - the machine is a: A2SDi-12C-HLN4F and
has handled this without problems in the past...)
