+ipfrag_max_dist - INTEGER
+       ipfrag_max_dist is a non-negative integer value which defines the 
+       maximum "disorder" which is allowed among fragments which share a 
+       common IP source address. Note that reordering of packets is 
+       not unusual, but if a large number of fragments arrive from a source 
+       IP address while a particular fragment queue remains incomplete, it 
+       probably indicates that one or more fragments belonging to that queue 
+       have been lost. When ipfrag_max_dist is positive, an additional check 
+       is done on fragments before they are added to a reassembly queue - if 
+       ipfrag_max_dist (or more) fragments have arrived from a particular IP 
+       address between additions to any IP fragment queue using that source 
+       address, it's presumed that one or more fragments in the queue are 
+       lost. The existing fragment queue will be dropped, and a new one 
+       started. An ipfrag_max_dist value of zero disables this check.
+
+       Using a very small value, e.g. 1 or 2, for ipfrag_max_dist can
+       result in unnecessarily dropping fragment queues when normal
+       reordering of packets occurs, which could lead to poor application 
+       performance. Using a very large value, e.g. 50000, increases the 
+       likelihood of incorrectly reassembling IP fragments that originate 
+       from different IP datagrams, which could result in data corruption.
