Perhaps you misunderstood what I was saying. I meant are there any

Linux will never do this thanks to inetpeer.c.
Of course (as usual) NATs break everything. ;-)
There are also the ugly case where fragments could be delayed in the
network for a period of time, for example during a path change, and
show up at exactly the wrong time.
