The fix there is to use IP level fragmentation... And only switch to
use small IKEv2 level fragmented packets if that does not work. This
whole protocol is only needed on the broken networks, so it does not
matter if it is very suboptimal, as we can always say that if you
enable fragmentation support on your devices, things will work
better.
