Thanks for the clarifications
I take issue with this comment. It is not true.

Take a look at IP -- that allows arbitrary fragmentation. The
fragmentation is 802.10 could only be invoked as a result of crypto
expansion, so we knew that two fragments was sufficient. Further, by
breaking the expanded PDU in half, we knew that any subsequent encryption
from another SDE-enabled bridge would not need fragmentation.
