The gateway machine (whinge) runs as a KVM guest, and shares a physical  
host with three other guests (one Windows, two Linux). Below are the  
outputs of bridge topology and VLAN tagging on the physical host.

What driver are you using on whinge?

When you took the packet dumps, was it on whinge or the physical
host? If it was taken on whinge, can you try to take the same
dumps on the outgoing physical interface on the host?

Thanks,

I have tried both virtio and the default (8139too). The original dumps 
were taken on whinge, I have attached two new dumps showing the 
functional (2.6.24) and non-functional (2.6.27) states from the host.
