Diagnostic Details
__________________________________________________________________ 
Problem Description: 
An ICMP Fragment Reassembly Time Exceeded message has been sent. 
__________________________________________________________________ 
Probable Cause(s):
1. A host may send this message if it cannot reassemble the fragments (due to 
missing fragments) on time. 
2. There may be a lot of missing IP fragments (possibly due to NFS traffic or 
network overload). 
3. The routing tables may be incorrect on the source. 
__________________________________________________________________ 
Recommended Action(s):
1. Check the routing tables of the source.
2. Check the netmask configuration of the source.
3. Check for missing IP fragments.
4. May need to upgrade the host that sent this message.
