--- Comment #15 from Kristof Provost <kris...@freebsd.org> ---
The problem I have with 'drop-ovl' (and the same applies to 'crop') is that
it's a bit misleading.
They don't actually reassemble the fragmented packet. 

That means a far lower system load, but you can't actually filter in-depth. For
example, with 'scrub all fragment reassemble' you can do 'pass in inet proto
icmp all icmp-type echoreq keep state', but with 'scrub all fragment drop-ovl'
you'll end up just dropping a fragmented ICMP echo request. An unfragmented
ICMP echo request will just get through.
That goes against what I'd expect.

I think you (and really all pf users) want to be using 'scrub in all fragment
reassemble'.

(That said, if you can break it, please keep using drop-ovl, so I can debug it
;))
