Ahh, tso will also need to be turned off if you want to see normal/real 
sized packets.

I don't know if it will help your specific problem, but generally now I 
see it's on for virtual devices I think turning off will be better than 
using a large mtu with policers just to to avoid dropping too much at once.

If it doesn't help then see what's going on with tcpdump.
