I am able to reproduce it on x86 based EC2 instances using ENA or Xen netfront or Intel ixgbevf driver on the receiver so it's not specific to ENA, we were able to easily reproduce it between 2 VMs running in virtual box on the same physical host considering the environment requirements I mentioned in my first e-mail.
What's the RTT between the sender & receiver in your reproduction? Are you using bbr on the sender side?
100ms RTT
Which exact version of linux kernel are you using ?
Thanks for testing this, Eric. Would you be able to share the MTU config commands you used, and the tcpdump traces you get? I'm surprised that receive buffer autotuning would work for advmss of around 6500 or higher.
thanks, neal
