Doesn't that mechanism rely on watching the IP ID's between the pair of IPs? For both fragmented and non-fragmented datagrams? If so, does always setting the IP ID to zero when DF is set affect that mechanism?


Only the IDs in packets with DF clear matter.

I thought the ID's even in non-fragmented datagrams gave an idea of how many IP datagrams had been sent along, and so an idea of how "unlikely" it was that a datagram with holes could be reassembled?
