Hi guys!

I have a network related issues. I have a container running gunicorn app, with port 8000 published.  
I’m use `echo 'exit' | telnet 172.31.3.10 8000` to connect to this port, from my laptop.  
Docker host has ip 172.31.3.10, my laptop is 172.31.3.246, both connected by wire to that LAN.  
What I see is a pretty big time for telnet to establish connection, sometimes, but sometimes not.  
I’ve looked a little deeper and wireshark showed me SYN packets re-transmitted in such cases.

I have dumps from laptop and host, for both cases: with and without SYN re-transmission, here is one of it:

I’ve tried to search similar issues, but found only two:

- [https://tech.xing.com/a-reason-for-unexplained-connection-timeouts-on-kubernetes-docker-abd041cf7e02](https://tech.xing.com/a-reason-for-unexplained-connection-timeouts-on-kubernetes-docker-abd041cf7e02)
- [https://tech.vijayp.ca/linux-kernel-bug-delivers-corrupt-tcp-ip-data-to-mesos-kubernetes-docker-containers-4986f88f7a19](https://tech.vijayp.ca/linux-kernel-bug-delivers-corrupt-tcp-ip-data-to-mesos-kubernetes-docker-containers-4986f88f7a19)

but not sure, is it relevant to my case.  
Please, help me with investigating and fixing it  
Thanks a lot!
