I am sorry but I am going to put my foot down and not allow another instance of this to happen again. We already have this being done by netfilter, and I consider it unacceptable as well as inefficient. If a fragmented frame is going to be forwarded by us, defragmenting and refragmenting may create a different outgoing packet stream than what arrived. If the outgoing interface's MTU can accomodate the incoming frames, this kind of modification is absolutely forbidden. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
