Which Squid version are you using?

From what you have described it sounds like you are experiencing two
isolated issues, which when combined gives a very bad effect.

a) Your router is buggy and for some reason dislikes very small
packets.

b) Sounds as if there may be some issue with the delay pool
implementation of the Squid version you are using, causing traffic to
not be delayed properly.

You should try to get both issues corrected. The router issue is
likely to become visible again later on other traffic even if the
Squid delay pools issue currently triggering this router problem gets
corrected.

Henrik
