Hello,

<may be incorrect>
   as far as I learned on IPv6, fragmentation is not allowed anymore.

   In v4 an app/host could send a huge packet and router/gateways  
where allowed to fragment as needed.
   In v6 a router/gateways are not allowed to fragment a packet. They  
has to send back an "ICMP Packet too big"
   And the app/host has to resend again in smaller portions.
