The PR is about NFS over UDP, not TCP. ------------------ Ok, so is there evidence that it's UDP and not an IP fragmenting problem? Out of Order UDP is the same issue; its common for packets to traverse different paths through the internet in the same connection, so OOO packets are normal. IP fragmentation is rare, except for NFS. A lot of ISPs will block fragmentation because it's difficult to shape or filter fragments; they're often used to defeat simple firewalls and filters.
