Hi Pascal
The limit of 2K datagram doesn't hurt us, but can effectively hurt others.
I don't things that this draft need to go as far as supporting Jumbogram but
should at least support any standard datagrams.
Adding a single byte to the RFRAG Dispatch type will help to get rid of these
limitations.
For example:
1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|1 1 1 0 1 0 0|X| datagram_tag |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|E| sequence| fragment_size | fragment_offset |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|1 1 1 0 1 0 1 Y| datagram_tag |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| RFRAG Acknowledgment Bitmap (32 bits) |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Hello Michel
Your proposal is feasible; the datagram space is probably overly large anyway.
But it seems to be tailored around your exact problem as opposed to generic.
There are alternates like use a different unit, e.g., 4 bytes words as the
existing text suggests. Maybe we could make the unit dependent on the MTU, like
1 byte under 128, 2 bytes till 256, and 4 bytes above that?
It seems that you are not concerned with the overall IP packet size, which is
constrained to 2K by the fragment_offset. Maybe we should also look at that?
All the best
Pascal

Subject: [6lo] draft-ietf-6lo-fragment-recovery maximum fragment size too small
Hi authors of "draft-ietf-6lo-fragment-recovery"
I'm currently working on a fragment forwarding implementation based on
"draft-ietf-6lo-fragment-recovery".
In some cases, relatively large fragments need to be supported (i.e. minimum
MTU transferred using 3 fragments).
However, the current format of the RFRAG Dispatch type limits fragment size to
only 128 bytes.
Is it possible to modify the RFRAG Dispatch type
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6lo-fragment-recovery-00#section-5.1<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftools.ietf.org%2Fhtml%2Fdraft-ietf-6lo-fragment-recovery-00%23section-5.1&data=02%7C01%7C%7C12cb3a341d5e45a5b05308d67593338f%7C4f6fbd130dfb415085c3d43260c04309%7C0%7C0%7C636825672601917911&sdata=CNsPQhDxOFFzB7zOCgfDxZXeZjdoerKCmezSouL0EOE%3D&reserved=0>)
and corresponding RFRAG Acknowledgment Dispatch type
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6lo-fragment-recovery-00#section-5.2<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftools.ietf.org%2Fhtml%2Fdraft-ietf-6lo-fragment-recovery-00%23section-5.2&data=02%7C01%7C%7C12cb3a341d5e45a5b05308d67593338f%7C4f6fbd130dfb415085c3d43260c04309%7C0%7C0%7C636825672601917911&sdata=%2FPLtWrX8XdGvLHacKuSRb%2FMfIcxE%2BXV%2BCMFg2CNhTHc%3D&reserved=0>)
to allow larger fragments?
For example:
1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
