The current reassembly functions has deep rooted assumptions that the
first fragment of a packet has sequence number 0, and that the fragment
list contains fragments from only one packet, both of these assumptions
must be broken to reassemble acknowledged mode SNDCP (are there other
protocols that break these assumptions?)


I don't think the current reassembly functions can handle IPv6 in general
(e.g. nested fragments).
