Does the tcp connection tracking reorder and reassemble the tcp data. I am particularly interested in how ip_conntrack_ftp works, if the tcp data for port commnad comes in two different out-of-order segments.
The connection tracking in netfilter defragments fragmented packets but does not reorder out of order packets. Moreover FTP connection tracking won't work on PORT/etc commands which arrive in multiple (not fragmented) packets, even if those are in order.
