Impact of MTU on IP packet fragmentation and reassembly

Solution 1:

following wikipedia:

Reassembly is intended to happen in the receiving host but in practice it may be done by an intermediate router, for example, network address translation may need to re-assemble fragments in order to translate data streams, e.g. the FTP control protocol, as described in RFC 2993.

Solution 2:

They will stay at the fragmented size. They'll only be reassembled by the destination host.
