we have established the ipsec tunnel in transport mode using ip xfrm.
and running traffic using netserver and netperf.

In server side we are running
netserver -4
In client side we are running
"netperf -H <serverip> -p <port> -t UDP_STREAM  -Cc -- -m 21k"
where the packet size is 21k ,which is then fragmented into 15 ip 
fragments each of mtu size.
The mtu size currently is 1500bytes.
