 The PR is about NFS over UDP, not TCP.


------------------

Ok, so is there evidence that it's UDP and not an IP fragmenting problem?

Out of Order UDP is the same issue; its common for packets to traverse
different paths through the internet in the same connection, so OOO packets
are normal.

IP fragmentation is rare, except for NFS. A lot of ISPs will block fragmentation
because it's difficult to shape or filter fragments; they're often used to 
defeat
simple firewalls and filters.
