FRTS Fragmentation Question

Everyone

I defined a map class with fragmentation on a 3640 Low Speed Serial
Interface. The interface is frame relay encapsulated with 2 pvc's. No
sub-interfaces are used.Bandwidth=64.

The other end of one of the pc's is a 2501 with a high speed serial
interface with Bandwidth=64 (which is the clocking rate provided by the
frame-relay switch). In defining the map class there, the option (parameter)
to fragment was unavailable.

I presume if I define fragmentation on one end of the link I need
fragmentation defined on the other end. Do I just have to forget about
fragmenting? Is my assumption wrong - I don't need fragmentation on both
ends?

Does fragmentation only work on IP packets that do not have the don't
fragment bit set -- therefor fragmented packets are handled properly by
layer 3?
