Are you arguing that IPv6 fragmentation does no work at all, or what? My take is that packets won't be rejected simply for having a Fragment Header. They *will* probably be rejected if the initial fragment does not contain all the relevant headers, though (IPv6+transport). > Could this be deployed at large DNS > servers in a risk-free fashion, for instance? What's the specific question you're asking, and what is your concern, specifically?
