Quick correction - the issue is reduced when set to 1 (as you might expect, you don't see as much loss if you wipe the 
fragment buffer every second) but if you set it to zero hosts randomly hang after some time (presumably when the buffer 
fills)? Either way, 0 should probably not be an allowed value for net.ipv4.ipfrag_time.
