tunnle mode SAs...



With reference to section 4.1 in RFC 2401 I have a question on the
following statement.

The requirement for any (transit traffic) SA involving a
security gateway to be a tunnel SA arises due to the need to avoid
potential problems with regard to fragmentation and reassembly of
IPsec packets, and in circumstances where multiple paths (e.g., via
different security gateways) exist to the same destination behind the
security gateways.

How does a tunnel mode SA avoid the fragmentation problem and why
is a transport mode SA a problem if there exist multiple paths to the
same destination behind the security gateways ?
