You can figure out this yourself. In fact you measured this.
With mss=1460 the problem does not exist.
The problem begins f.e. when mss is less and packet arrives on ethernet.
It eats the same 1.5k of memory, but carries only ~mss bytes of tcp payload.
See? We do not know this forward, advertise large window, have not enough
rcvbuf to get it filled and cannot do anything but dropping new packets.
ppp is more difficult. Actually, I do not know exactly how it works now.
At least, ppp in 2.4 trims skb if it has too much of unused space.
