Could be anything.... kernel traffic control, too many iptables rules
(AFAIK, too many iptables could slow down packet processing, thus can
not cope with high burst) etc.

I think better run tcpdump and save the result as pcap. Then load it
in latest Wireshark. Maybe you can get better clues there.
