Now I'm bypassing the problem by limiting my network interface's bandwidth via 'wondershaper'. It takes care, that the transfer speed from the server to the client is always around 40 Megabytes per second, which seems to be a value which is not yet in the critical range (as we saw eralier, the problem only occurs at high transfer rates).

I'm not yet fully satisfied with the rather intransparent way in which 'wondershaper' limits the speed (for example it seems to strongly reduce the upload speed eventough I tought I configured it in a way in which it only should affect the download speed) but I haven't yet found a better alternative (because 'trickle' which seems to offer a more transparent limitation in reality doesn't limit anything on my machine).

Of course this is not really a solution, but it's some workaround I'll be probably be able to live with.

But if anyone comes up with further possibilities of testing which could lead to a real solution, I'd of course be willing to assist.
