Joe, Another high-level point - will you agree that an egress needs to be able to discard any packet that is too large to be reassembled? So, if the egress receives fragments that would reassemble to, e.g., 4KB but the egress is only capable of reassembling up to 2KB, the egress needs to take m

Hi Joe, PTB messages coming from the egress will be encapsulated and returned to the ingress w/o them being dropped by an ICMP-filtering middlebox because they will not look like ICMPs to the network - they will look like ordinary tunneled packets. So, the ingress will receive the PTBs coming from
