Subject: IPv4 / IPv6 over IPv4 IPsec tunnel: setting the DF bit

Hi,
for the scenarios
- IPv4 over IPv4 IPsec tunnel
- IPv6 over IPv4 IPsec tunnel

I wonder how the DF bit of the outer (encrypted) packet is set.

There are generally three options:
- DF bit always 0
- DF bit always 1
- DF bit copied from inner packet

(the last case is obviously not applicable for the IPv6 case, as the IPv6 header does not have a DF bit).

How is this done in Linux?

When investigating, I stumbled over defines named TNL_F_DF_INHERIT / TNL_F_DF_DEFAULT.

Are these still supported?

Is it possible to configure the behavior at runtime or just at compile time?

I would appreciate very much if someone could give an overview on this!

best regards, Simon
