Folks,
Since there has been a bit of guesswork regarding what systems support
(or do not support) IPv6 atomic fragments, I've played a bit with a few
operating systems, and here are the results regarding the support of
accepting incoming atomic fragments. The column entitled "Improved
Processing" indicates whether the corresponding operating system already
implements the improved processing of atomic fragments described in
draft-gont-6man-ipv6-atomic-fragments.
OS | Atomic fragments | Improved Processing
-------------------+------------------+------------------------------
FreeBSD 8.2 | No | No
FreeBSD 9.0 | Yes | No
Linux 3.0.0-15 | Yes | Yes
NetBSD 5.1 | No | No
OpenBSD-current | Yes | Yes
Solaris | Yes | Yes
Win 7 Home Premium | Yes | No
---------------------------------------------------------------------
>From this table, it should be clear that most current operating systems
support them.
If deemed as useful/appropriate, I could include this survey in an
appendix of the next revision of draft-gont-6man-ipv6-atomic-fragments.
Thanks,
