I was thinking of a blanket option that would cover anything
a socket could have instead of having options inside "every" single
place.
Of couse, IP_DONTFRAG applies very well in most situations.
However, I don't think that SO_DONTFRAGMENT would be a replacement
but rather a more "generic" option.
Well, I could just be missing something and saying something
naive. :) So I apologize if I am missing something obvious.
