I've discovered the following problem with the hier. stats
while analyzing NFS traffic with large packets.

When there is a lot of fragmented frames some of them
get reordered in transit (fragments relative to each other).
The packets that arrive ahead of time are treated just as
"IP DATA" whereas if they arrive properly in sequence
the reassembly is OK and they're also counted properly
in the stats.

Maybe there are some factors that contribute to the fragments
of NFS (udp.rpc.nfs) frames to be treated as ip.data, but I
only noticed the sequencing thing above. Does anyone need
a capture to look at it further for debugging?
