How does IPv6 do that - isn't MTU dependent on the ethernet packet size and router support for the same?
When was the last time you saw anything that didn't support 1500 byte MTU? Years ago, smaller sizes were common because the communications medium had higher error rates, which made smaller packets more desirable. As I understand it, path MTU discovery is used to set the MTU, to the largest that will pass without fragmentation. In IPv6, fragmentation may only be done by the originating host. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
