Hi Carsten,

Currently I m reassembling hop by hop.

Problem begins with initial auth session itself!! I use PANA for network
access in single channel (with no RDC) mesh and the payload in most PANA
messages crosses 127B (especially considering the relay header overhead),,,
its all unicast with MAC layer ACK. None of my mcast packets cross MTU
boundary. Also an imp point is that the buffer space is only for one IPv6
datagram (i.e. 1280B).
Some of the problems highlighted by Pascal such as, fragments getting
discarded prematurely for e.g. because of high node density causing
reception from different peers is hurting the end to end msg transmission
badly. The failure rate and thus the retransmission rate at app is very
high,, so much that we had to adopt a proprietary compressed PANA
signalling mechanism  to improve convergence time.

Regards,
Rahul
