  As above, most other uses of UDP do not involve large packets.  But I

A minute is certainly too long.  Just a guess, but 4 seconds seems
appropriate to me.  That's good enough for gigabit ethernet.  Anyone running
fragmented 10G networks gets what they deserve.

Yes, you can have more than four seconds of data in flight at moderate
speeds, but unless something is terribly wrong the fragments should come in
very close together.
