Subject: Re: PMTUD broken inside network namespace with multipath routing

Hi David,

In this case, both paths are in the same layer2 network, there is no
symmetric multi-path routing.
If original message takes path 1, ICMP response will come from path 1
If original message takes path 2, ICMP response will come from path 2
Also, It works fine outside of LXC.


Thank you,
Kfir
