This report is troubling to me. One of the unspoken tenets of IPv6 is that it fixes fragmentation and reassembly, for example by including a large-enough Identification field to avoid wrapping issues at high data rates (see RFC4963). With this knowledge, a reasonable response from a host that receives a Packet Too Big message may be to begin fragmenting large packets (up to 1500 bytes) rather than reduce the size of the packets it sends. If a stateful middlebox needs to inspect all fragments before forwarding to the final destination, then it should do something like Virtual Fragmentation and Reassembly and then pass the fragments through to the final destination assuming filtering rules are satisfied. Either that, or simply allow non-initial fragments through and let the final destination take the appropriate actions. The choice may be dependent on whether the middlebox is located closer to the core or closer to the edge. Taking away IPv6 fragmentation/reassembly removes an important option that should be available to end systems. It would further "dumb-down" the eventual deployment of IPv6 we would see, and would make dealing with MTU diversity that much harder.
