Subject: Re: [PATCH] bridge:fragmented packets dropped by bridge

> How can a bridge forward a frame from A/B to mtu1300?
It is free for user to set different MTU for bridge ports. In our case
only tcp traffic between A/B and mtu 1300, and mss negotiation can
make packets less than 1300.

> What happens without netfilter or non-fragmented packets?
Without br_netfilter it works fine, there is no defragmentation and
refragmentation, fragmented packets will egress directly.
