I already had that minimal request line in the config file last week, and that didnt help. I now have additionally the -M parameter in the other config file in sysconfig directory, that helps
Sure... sysconfig can use two different dhcp clients: dhcpcd: default client, needs DHCPCD_USER_OPTIONS='-M' parameter dhclient: ISC client from "dhcp-client" package, makes use of the /etc/dhclient.conf file. The dhclient is used only, when you change the DHCLIENT_BIN to "dhclient" in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp. Otherwise dhcpcd.
so should I then contact this ISP and tell them about their misbehaviour or something? Is somebody disrespecting any RFCs or standards or anything?
No, I don't see anything would break some RFCs... The server reports what the administrator configured. It is expected, the admin provides an MTU, which is suitable for the connection, ... This low and inconsistent mtu (I guess, your gateway isn't using 576) causes a lot of "Path MTU Discovery" resends and when some firewall blocks the ICMP notifications on the path, ... You can try to report it to the ISP as it disrupts you and lowers the througput; I which you luck! But I don't think they will change this... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
