I have been watching the chat here for a while......................... With a foot in both camps :-)!

You should be able to get the net admin people to set a "quality of service" bit. This can be used to enforce no
fragmentation, keep on same route, high priority or whatever else you need to use to ensure that your traffic can
flow, of course it depends on what else the link(s) are used for and what other priorities they have.

Hope this helps
