I agree, however defining a value of 600 system wide is horrible for
all hosts that behave "correctly". So what we could do is take probes
of the id distribution and define the threshold on a per peer scope.

Why would 600 penalize a host behaving "correctly?" I mean, what are the chances of a datagram's being reassembled, if 600 subsent datagrams have arrived from that same host?
