Come on folks, don't be afraid. We all know the beast is to blame for
this, just don't say the name three times...

the impact of the inevitable segment loss/out of order over a WAN. Is QoS the
only option?

Well, if its out of order its the same as if its lost or delayed, it needs to
see that missing segment before the window is full
As mentioned you need to get dumps from both ends, you will almost definitely
find that you have packet loss which tripped tcp's slow start mechanism.

Even if the segment was received out of order what would cause congestion avo
idance to starve the connection of legitimate traffic for 15 to 20 seconds? That
is the core of the problem.

or received it out of order.
Yes, a tcpdump trace is the first step.
