    Perhaps your ISP has implemented NBAR.
    
    If this is the case, you can look for the existence of many http
    connections that never complete. This is the primary drawback to using
    NBAR- a RST packet never gets sent even though the router has closed the
    connection. I suspect Cisco will find a workaround for this soon.
