Ron asserts the following two statements in this 00 draft:
"..." As a result, IPv6 fragments carrying TCP payload are rarely
observed on the Internet.
and
"..." Because many UDP-based applications follow the above-quoted
recommendation, IPv6 fragments carrying UDP traffic are also rarely
observed on the Internet.
I'd like to understand the basis of these assertions. I believe what I am
seeing, on the edge, suggests there is in fact V6 fragmentation in both TCP
and UDP.
Ron also asserts:
The following is a list of UDP-based applications that do not follow the
recommendation of [RFC5405] and rely in IPv6 fragmentation:
o DNSSEC [RFC4035]
The effectiveness of these protocols may currently be degraded by
operator behavior. SeeSection 2.4 for details.
I'd like to point out that at least BIND imposes a 1280 IPv6 packet limit.
Its wired into the code.
