Actually, with ntp, it isn't - ntp handles message segmentation on its own at 
layer-7, generating multiple packets for long replies.

Unlike DNS, SNMP, chargen, and other UDP reflection/amplification attacks, we 
don't see non-initial fragments with ntp reflection/amplification attacks.

But it's a good point to keep in mind when dealing with those other attack 
techniques.
