Agreed. The issue is that UDP length can’t be reconstructed UNLESS it matches the end of packet indicated by the IP length.

In any other case, claiming it can be reconstructed is an error and should not be allowed.

That appears to be a flaw in the claim that UDP length can be computed. It’s just not true in all cases.
