Can I tell users to call you when they enable the strict
fragmentation and they can no longer talk UDP to
remote sites outside of their subnet, or it breaks
on their heavily SMP machine due to natural system local
packet reordering?
Packet reordering happens on the local machine with SMP.
There is no way to avoid this. And when it triggers your
patch will drop frags on the ground all the time.
If you want to fix things, do it without knowingly breaking
stuff that does currently work.
