Currently, using Cisco 3800's. Unfortunately, because the traffic is UDP, mss adjust can't be used to adjust the frame size. The fragmentation is unavoidable as this involves VPNs and the applications can't be adjusted to try smaller sized frames.
Are there any documents that show the impact for each platform? I can find pps, throughput, etc... but nothing says how fragments impact things. My concern is that a larger router may not be any better in this particular regard than what I already have.
