IMX6ULL 4G downloads getting stalled

Hi guys, We have been using IMX6ULL processors along with a Quectel 4G module in our custom made boards. The 4G module can be initialised, brought up and the PPP0 interface can also be initialised which in-turn does provide us with internet connectivity too but, when we start downloading files (of about 10 MB - 200 MB), we have observed that the download begins to stall at irregular intervals. While the download does stall, the PPP0 interface is still up but we lose internet connectivity hence, we have to kill PPPD and re-initialise PPP0. We have tried using different variations of PPP0 initialisation scripts that we could get our hands on but the issue still persisted however, recently when we wanted to dump the traffic on the PPP0 interface using TCPDUMP in-order to analyse the same, we observed that the download does not stall anymore and we also observed a much better 4G throughput too. We have still not been able to figure out why this is indeed the case. Any inputs or guidance on the same would be of great help. P.S: The kernel version we have been using is 4.1.15 but, we have observed a similar behavior with the 5.4.70 kernel too. Thanks in advance Regards Nitin
