How does ip fragmentation "break" end-to-end?
I think I was unclear and miswrote; since you cannot receive the complete IP-level packet, you cannot receive the complete packet from the L4+ protocol. Therefore the L4+ protocol needs to break its packet up into finer parts. E.g., rather than break a single UDP packet into multiple IP fragments, you might actually have to break it up into multiple UDP packets. But since it's end-to-end fragmentation/assembly anyway, I guess this isn't a big deal.
