One possible cause of this behavior is an MTU problem.  If something
in the Linux1 <==> FreeBSD path is dropping packets larger than X
(where X is something lower than the endpoints are expecting) you'll
see exactly this sort of symptom.

While the real solution is to fix whatever is dropping the packets,
it may be easier to restrict the MTU.
