This document describes describes issues with using Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) fragmentation for transmitting large messages on unreliable transport. The document proposes several approaches for dealing with these issues: randomizing the order the fragments are sent, dispersing sending fragments over time and selective retransmission of fragments based on information from the peer about their receipt.
