I did some of the edits, so I’ll respond. Alissa issues a comment. We also got several other comments over the summer. This update responds to a set of comments. I’m on vacation and mostly out of contact, so my co-authors will need to proceed as appropriate. But this was NOT a matter of one person commenting and unrelated edits happening.
For the record, I agree that fragmentation will in fact be used by applications and transports that are using it now, unless and until they are changed. Expecting otherwise is a fool’s errand. Hence, while there are known problems with it, fragmentation and reassembly MAY be used. I don’t think anyone is disputing that.
