Unit
: (MTU) into consideration, and configure it based on network specific setup.
Indeed there's nothing wrong with IP
fragmentation. The problem is, as usual, broken middleboxes. […]
I'm not aware
of any common breakage preventing transporting fragmented IP packets across networks. The
only frequent problems I know about is PMTU discovery failures, which really are just ICMP
filtering.

PS5, Line 122: OsmOGGSN
Sure, but it is still interesting to document imho
since: […]
"95% of the traffic will be TCP": I think that's no longer
the case today. There's bittorrent, openvpn, ipsec/esp, wiregurad, RTP (for webrtc,
whatever), there's QUIC, etc. - if anything I think the percentage of TCP traffic of
the users on the public net is likely decreasing than increasing. I have not investigated
how well those various other protocols handle MTU issues.
"increasing the outer MTU" that's basically what 29.060 annex C states:
(paraphrasing from memory): "When you cannot enlarge the outer MTU across the entire
transport network as needed, then you should consider reducing the inner MTU to avoid
fragmentation overhead"
