What's this look like on the API side? You pass in a packet. Does the
socket block because there may a packet in parallel (and how does
the mechanism under the API know that)?  Is that better or worse
than fragmentation?

I think that FreeBSD has done the reasonable thing. Given that the API
has accepted the packet it is transmitting it using the most recent
information about the path, rather than transmitting it with high
odds of failure.
