Can you put a description in the manpage especially on the
assumptions and side effects of the reass option ?

E.g. as i read it,
+ you need to make sure that the fragments are not dropped before
  the 'reass' (so you cannot rely on port numbers to decide
  accept or deny). This is obvious but a very common mistake;
+ reass silently queues the fragment if it does not reass, so it
  opens up a bit of vulnerability. Again obvious, but people
  won't realise if they don't see the code.
someone else already pointed out that i should mention net.inet.ip.maxfrag*, i'll come up
with an updated man page later today.
