I successfully reproduced this on few different 4.8 routers.
Does anybody knows what is this? How to fix or workaround this problem?

I have one strange problem with dummynet & IP fragmentation.

I have FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE router with few interfaces:
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=3<rxcsum,txcsum>
        inet 195.248.191.172 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 195.248.191.191
        ether 00:30:48:20:8e:7e
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
ng4: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1492
        inet 195.248.191.172 --> 212.86.231.58 netmask 0xffffffff

Interface ng4 have MTU 1492 because it is PPPoE link.
When I do not use dummynet on router and somebody send a big
(>1492bytes) packet to 212.86.231.58 with DontFragment flag set router
generates ICMP reply message (Fragmentation Needed). This is correct.

But when I use dummynet on that interface:
10170 pipe 10009 ip from any to any out xmit ng4
10175 allow ip from any to any via ng4

10009: 128.000 Kbit/s    0 ms   50 sl. 1 queues (1 buckets) droptail
    mask: 0x00 0x00000000/0x0000 -> 0x00000000/0x0000
BKT Prot ___Source IP/port____ ____Dest. IP/port____ Tot_pkt/bytes
Pkt/Byte Drp
  0 udp   195.248.191.65/53      212.86.231.58/1118  50965 28380582  0
   0 143

router stops sending that ICMP messages. Pipe is not overflowed at that
tme, it is empty.
