> > In some situations, we would get several ip fragments, which total
> > data length is less than min_ip_len(64) and padding with zeros.
> > We simulated intermediate fragments by modifying the MTU.
> > To illustrate the problem, we simplify the packet format and
> > ignore the impact of the packet header.In namespace2,
> > a packet whose data length is 1520 is sent.
> > When the packet passes tap2, the packet is divided into two
> > fragments: fragment A and B, similar to (1520 = 1510 + 10).
> > When the packet passes tap3, the larger fragment packet A is
> > divided into two fragments A1 and A2, similar to (1510 = 1500 + 10).
> > Finally, the bond interface receives three fragments:
> > A1, A2, and B (1520 = 1500 + 10 + 10).
> > One fragmented packet A2 is smaller than the minimum Ethernet
> > frame length, so it needs to be padded.
