No, this is not what is happening to me. It happens with all the pipes empty and the systems idle, there are no timeouts or bottlenecks involved.
Setting:
*idle* systems *idle* PPP (MTU/MRU 296) *idle* eth0 always_defrag is turned on
Some systems completely fail to forward, and changing the PPP MTU/MRU to 1500 fixes it. To me, this means they are not defragmenting, and of course the fragments can't masquerade. There is a bug in the always_defrag.
