This isn't a direct answer to the question, but I find this paper pretty useful (even though it is dated now): Beyond Folklore: Observations on Fragmented Traffic by Colleen Shannon, David Moore, and k claffy IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, December 2002 http://www.caida.org/publicat

real-world data about fragmentation

Hi all, It's common wisdom that a datagram that needs to be fragmented between endpoints (because it is bigger than the path MTU) will demonstrate less reliable delivery and reassembly than a datagram that doesn't need to be fragmented, because math, firewall, other, take your pick. Is anybody
