Thanks for working on this.

I always thought that, for packets, the opposite of fragmentation was
reassembly, but I hear the word "defragmentation", as used here, more
and more these days.  I don't know whether it's considered an "official"
term.

In the ovn-northd manpage, the DNAT section has a single bullet point
with lots of paragraphs.  Probably, each paragraph should be a bullet
point, because each one describes a category of flows.
