Rainer: If we keep the syslog fragmentation feature in -protocol, can we change its name to something that can't be confused with IP fragments. Otherwise, I think it can creates confusion when one talks about syslog message fragments. "Segments" I think is also a term that is already commonly used in TCP.
Maybe "multi-part" message and "message part" instead? I need a way to refer to those pieces in -transport hopefully without having to explain what kind of fragment I am referring to. Thanks, Anton.
