Hello,

I'm using FreeBSD 12.2 as a router and I'm kinda stuck investigation an 
issue: TCP sessions frequently stall when the several ACK packets are 
somehow dropped instide the stack. The most weird thing that seems like 
all of them are suddenly dropped (client in the outer world is 
downloading a file, downloading stalls and never reinitializes, see 
below why).

Same host, different interfaces, showing the session stuck moment, from 
last successfully received ACK.

62.109.28.82 downloads the file from 91.206.242.9, using HTTP.

outer interface:

===Cut===

Here  you can see that the ACK no. 14540817 never made it to the target, 
despite several retransmissions ! Cannot relly undertsand the latter. 
And yup, thats why downloading cannor regain and contunue.

The host is running PF as a packet filter, several dozens of rules. I 
disable the scrub on outer interface (since the lost packet wasn'ta  
fragment, I was sceptical about it, and it doesn't help indeed).

Further stuff:

- tcpdump -netti pflog0 host 62.109.28.82 is silent about PF packet drops.

- netstat -idb shows output error counter at the same value.

- pfctl -s info:

[root@gw0:/var/log]# pfctl -s info
