FreeBSD ought to add per-socket socket options to
allow a programmer to turn  on and off the don't
fragment bit for UDP and the UDP checksum, on a per
socket basis.

This, at least I would think, would be very easy for
someone knowledgable in  the networking implementation
to implement.

Thank you for you attention to this suggestion.
