Hi Taurn, So the v4 packet is fragmented by the remote host before reaching AFTR? If so, the AFTR shouldn¹t wait but pass the fragmented packet untouched with encapsulation. That said, the fragmented v4 packet could be fragmented one more time in the AFTR after adding the v6 header overhead. B4 must reassemble the v6 fragmented packets before sending to the host. It is the host responsible for reassembling the v4 fragmented packets.
