I have to apology for my late reply, but I wasn't in office the past weeks. I wish all of you a Happy New Year! Thanks for the suggestions you have written down, great information. While I was recording the traces, I had all wireshark clients running simultaneously, but it is a great hint to anonymize all files all in one.

You won't believe it, but the problem got solved in the meantime, I don't really understand, why the following change in RouterOS ensures that the ACK is not lost anymore, and the application gets loaded in a hurry, but I am really relieved about it: Inside the RouterOS Route lists, the Gateway IP was entered as an IP address instead of an interface name / DNS name.

Do you have any explanation for this issue? Does the translation/lookup take so many seconds, and the ACK is ignored in the meantime? I always had a feeling, that it has to be an issue in the RouterOS, but I had no idea how to track it down. What a lucky coincidence that our admin was playing with the router tables, and asked me to check the loadup time again. Can this really be the only change? I was able to confirm in wireshark, that the ACK is not lost any longer.
