Hi David,

thanks for your help but I found the problem. It wasn't a "network"  
related problem, but a virtualization problem.

You see, I had OpenVPN running on a paravirtualized Debian Lenny under  
Xen 3.3.

I've just setup a new virtual machine, but this time using hvm (full  
virtualization) and everything works as expected and file transfer is  
back to "normal" (30 K/s on my ADSL). No more ICMP messages at all.  
Probably paravirtualization handles the network diferently or  
something...

I wonder if using my L2TP over IPSEC on this environment will also  
avoid the ICMP problems, most likely i think.

Now I'll go and see if anyone knows why this is happening on the Xen  
mailing list.

Thanks again to all who have contributed with their comments!

Aleix.
