A. Non-TCP fragments arriving in order are supported.In more detail, any fragments that are not UDP will be supported, regardless of order. (i.e. IPSEC).UDP fragments are supported, so long as they arrive at the system in-order. NOTE: many operating systems transmit fragments in reverse order (some versions of Linux do, IOS does, but NT sends fragments in order). TCP fragments are dropped outright.
