Networking is not my strong-suit, but I have a suggestion:

Try lowering slave-net-timeout
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options-slave.html#option
_mysqld_slave-net-timeout

I remember that we lowered the default in MySQL 5.7 (from 1hr to 60 seconds)
so that the connection between master/slave would be considered broken
faster.  If you have the throughput on a graph it might better explain if it
is a constant 4mbit/sec or more broken.
