Hi, all,

I still think it would be useful for this doc to describe how tunnels interact 
with fragmentation (per draft-ietf-intarea-tunnels), which seems to be 
something I’ve noted several times before.

I’m also still not thrilled with the title I’d be happier with “IP 
fragmentation still not supported per requirements”, and I’d have to see where 
this goes with final recommendations.

But I agree *some* statement is worthwhile here. My primary concern is that if 
we’re not careful, endorsing the status quo will only ensure nothing changes.

So I sincerely hope that some of the strongest recommendations here are that 
both direct IP devices and tunnel ingress/egress devices need to do a better 
job of supporting fragmentation, and that protocol/device designers SHOULD 
avoid mechanisms that are not compatible with fragmentation (e.g., NAT or DPI 
without doing reassembly first).
