I don't remember all the details of our previous conversation regarding the IP 
fragmentation, sorry. My understanding at the time of writing this patch was 
that we don't want the fragmentation because of the associated performance 
loss. It seems I understood you wrong.

I did some tests with the current master (no explicit IP_MTU_DISCOVER setting), 
and as far as I can see, the IP fragmentation is employed by default if a TRXD 
PDU exceeds the MTU. So AFAIU, we want to make sure that it can be employed 
regardless of the system's default policy by setting IP_MTU_DISCOVER 
explicitly, right? If so, shall I use IP_PMTUDISC_DONT or IP_PMTUDISC_WANT?
