Wow. I'm curious what application you used for the transfer?

 

In your setup, are you routing, SNAT'ing, bridging?

I'm wondering if the issue you're seeing is really related to guest configuration? We don't use virtualization on Viprion (much cheaper to buy a 10G HA pair than to license modules for the chassis). The configuration here is client -> VIP/client-ssl -> Automap SNAT -> Node/server-ssl. Except for some higher volume nPath setups, it's all L3 to and from Nodes. The iRules simply add X-Forwarded-For (deleting existing headers first) and w3c-style logging. The application is Xythos file sharing (behemoth Tomcat app).
