+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+UDP/IPv4 GSO supports segmentation of suitably large UDP/IPv4 packets, which
+may also contain an optional VLAN tag. UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation.
+Specifically, UDP GSO treats the UDP header as a part of the payload and
+does not modify it during segmentation. Therefore, after UDP GSO, only the
+first output packet has the original UDP header, and others just have l2
+and l3 headers.
