TCP data transmission stops for a second and I can’t interpret the data. Can someone help?

This happens multiple times, dependent on how large the file is that I'm sending. This file is 1MB and takes around 8 seconds to trasmit.

What might be causing this?

Looks like you have packet loss. But by the fact that multiple packets in a row seem to get lost and that there is a repeating pattern, I think there might be a device between these two systems that is applying a bandwidth limit.

That however would be strange as the systems might be in the same IP subnet (are they?). Since you are capturing on one of the hosts (192.168.14.10), could you try making a capture on a span port on the switch to see what exactly is being sent to the system? It could be that something on your system is interfering....
