TCP Request/Response tests showed a drastic fall at response sizes of 8192 bytes. This strange drop was also mirrored in UDP RR tests. Wondering if this is a known issue? (Smells like a VM problem). I'm afraid I cant upgrade and didnt have time to track down more info, but should be easily reproducible.
