Hi Andrew,
Packet type was not set for fragmented packets so we are trying to set it in all possible scenarios.

I believe TCP packets can be fragmented.

Thanks,

I'm wondering if is really IPv4/IPv6 fragmented packets or just
scattered on Rx across many Rx buffers.
I'm asking since fragmented sounds weird with TCP, since TCP
spec forbids fragmentation.
