That's consistent with (outbound request) packets being queued up waiting for 
"something" to happen. That "something" has happened by the time packet 14 is 
sent, all the requests get sent once it's happened, and so you see the replies 
to them with delays like that. I've seen it with things like dial-on-demand PPP 
and the like.
