If we are not the final destination, should there be any reassembly
going-on in the first place?
And if reassembly times-out, don't the frags just get dropped like they
would anyway?
Eric keeps asking about (real) workload :) About the only one I can
think of at this point that would have much in the way of UDP fragments
is EDNS. Apart from that we may be worrying about how many fragments
can dance on the header of an IP datagram?-)
