We're seeing more boxes than I'd expect that simply drop larger packets 
(UDP packets, without the IP DF bit set) instead of forwarding them or 
fragmenting them and then forwarding the fragments. Anyone else seeing 
the same thing?

I think everyone knows that the Cisco 3000 VPN client software has the 
problem (and the "SetMTU" program to work around it by having the client 
fragment before handing the packet to the VPN shim), but we're also 
seeing things like Linksys cable modem+NAT+wireless boxes doing the same 
thing to packets that are smaller than Ethernet MTU but bigger than 
around 1300 bytes -- apparently only on the NAT hairpin path (two hosts 
inside talking to each other using the public IP address), but it still 
is incorrect behavior.
