Keeping lots of state is always more expensive than not keeping state, and
customers like lower cost devices.
So pushing this to another layer will never solve it. What will solve it
will only be a compliance requirement for #6 - which could be done right
now, and has to be done for ANY solution to work.
Where is that Internet Protocol Police when you need it? I appreciate your
struggle, but I don't see how you will succeed in your struggle, in
reality.
So I prefer to recommend not to rely on IP level fragmentation, and
fragment at higher layers. It works better in reality.
