I am receiving a webhook from an API with a Jetty server, but connection is reset. What causes that? And what can I do to prevent that?

I am new to this low level stuff and will appreciate your assistance very much.

The connection gets reset by the Windows server after having exhausted its re-transmission retries trying to get the full size 1448 bytes segments to the Linux client.
This is most probably due to the MTU size available along the route being smaller than 1500, which is what both sides have defined.
Assuming have control over the server you could manually reduce the MTU size to let's say 1400 to circumvent this problem.
