Hi,

In my sketchup I assume that packets for the same destination will not 
be re-ordered. I see that the current ip_reass() code does not care 
about TCP or UDP port numbers at all. Maybe we should add code to check 
that the packet belongs to the same ports too?

Does somebody here know what happens in these two cases:

If we are transmitting using TSO, will the network adapter increment the 
IP ID field somehow? What happens if an outgoing IP packet resulting 
from a TSO packet get fragmented by a router?

In ip_fragment() when we create fragments we should increment the ip_id 
value for each fragment?
