[e2e] TCP Fragmentation

[Janardhan Iyengar]

John,

According to "Beyond Folklore: Observations on Fragmented Traffic" by
Shannon, Moore and Claffy (from ToN, December 2002):

"While majority of the fragmented trafficis UDP [..], ICMP, IPSEC, TCP and
tunneled traffic are commonly fragmented as well."

Although that doesn't answer your question per se, these results show that
there are TCP stacks which allow fragmenting.

regards,
jana
