how you can detect fragmented packets:
tcpdump at sender and at receiver site.
If you send 1500 byte packets but receive 2 differnt sized packets (a 
bigger and a smaller one) at the other site - than there is fragmentation.

1364 packet length seems strage, as your
max icmp packet is 1322 byte + 20byte IP header + 8byte icmp = mtu 1350?

1514? max mtu on ethernet is 1500

can you send me (directly) a send and receive site tcpdump from linux 
and freebsd for a whole data-transfer?

Kind regards,
