Clearly, middleware boxes can fail to forward
such packets and host based firewalls may discard
such packets; but that would be wrong.
Unless you want to inspect the whole packet, a
firewall can safely forward the second and later
packets as dropping the first packet makes sure
it never gets reassembled.
