you might have also to turn off ECN, Explicit Congestion Notification.

Forwarding did not work for me until I turned it off.

vi /etc/sysctl.conf

and change the line

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0

to

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

and run

sysctl -p

For just activating forwarding for test purposes you can do it with

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
