Quickly checked the ip manpage. I'm clear about the case where pmtudisc is in effect (default) - the DF bit must be TRUE in this case, for PMTUD to work. Not sure what you meant by: "but DF bit should get copied from inner packet up to tunnel header in every case" Do you mean the nopmtudisc case? Also, IPv6 must be different then - there's no DF bit to be copied. Could you please clarify? best regards, Simon Gesendet: Donnerstag, 30.
