working TCP connection PCAP file

Hi,

We have a client/server application which is developed a long time ago. It has
been running in production for more than 10 years. The client is a Windows
application written in C++, and the server-side component is written in Java8. 

This client/server software has been working fine for a long time on Linux
servers. Currently, we use AlmaLinux 9. It was working on AlmaLinux 9 until
updating the kernel. 

So, when we update the Linux kernel from "5.14.0-362.13.1.el9_3.x86_64" to
"kernel-5.14.0-427.31.1.el9_4.x86_64" the application gets unstable: The client
drops the connection based due to not receiving messages in the proper time. We
notice delays, the client just waiting for the response from the server. The
issue is always reproducible with the new kernel. And if we go back to the old
kernel, the problem is gone. We kept running the test for hours in both cases.

I attach the PCAP file created on the working system running with the old
kernel (5.14.0-362). Additionally, I attach another PCAP file created on the
non-working system. The difference is the kernel (5.14.0-427). All other
components are the same.

Please analyze it and let us know how to fix it. Whether it is a general issue
in the Linux kernel, or only AlmaLinux distro suffers from that.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Zoltan Balogh
