Patently nonsense. Packet reassembly in hardware is very much straightforward if one is willing to burn large buffers to do so. Imagine taking an implemention in C and simply converting it to Verilog. Not at all out of the question. In fact, a subset of this problem has been solved for a very long time. Remember ATM? Remember a SAR chip? That's reassembly of fixed size packet fragments.
