Change subject: doc: Document MTU features in User Manual and example config files ...................................................................... Patch Set 6: (2 comments) File doc/manuals/chapters/running.adoc: https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ggsn/+/38500/comment/a1314577_90067642?usp=email : PS5, Line 57: When running osmo-ggsn, the user must take network Maximum Transmission Unit : (MTU) into consideration, and configure it based on network specific setup. > Indeed there's nothing wrong with IP fragmentation. The problem is, as usual, > broken middleboxes. […] I'm not aware of any common breakage preventing transporting fragmented IP packets across networks. The only frequent problems I know about is PMTU discovery failures, which really are just ICMP filtering. https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ggsn/+/38500/comment/797b2ff2_0ad50b0c?usp=email : PS5, Line 122: OsmOGGSN > Sure, but it is still interesting to document imho since: […] "95% of the traffic will be TCP": I think that's no longer the case today. There's bittorrent, openvpn, ipsec/esp, wiregurad, RTP (for webrtc, whatever), there's QUIC, etc. - if anything I think the percentage of TCP traffic of the users on the public net is likely decreasing than increasing. I have not investigated how well those various other protocols handle MTU issues. "increasing the outer MTU" that's basically what 29.060 annex C states: (paraphrasing from memory): "When you cannot enlarge the outer MTU across the entire transport network as needed, then you should consider reducing the inner MTU to avoid fragmentation overhead" -- To view, visit https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ggsn/+/38500?usp=email To unsubscribe, or for help writing mail filters, visit https://gerrit.osmocom.org/settings?usp=email Gerrit-MessageType: comment Gerrit-Project: osmo-ggsn Gerrit-Branch: master Gerrit-Change-Id: Ib6e974b38107fe48072380f768e1881f0fc95e80 Gerrit-Change-Number: 38500 Gerrit-PatchSet: 6 Gerrit-Owner: pespin <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: Jenkins Builder Gerrit-Reviewer: laforge <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: lynxis lazus <[email protected]> Gerrit-Attention: pespin <[email protected]> Gerrit-Attention: lynxis lazus <[email protected]> Gerrit-Comment-Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2024 19:01:52 +0000 Gerrit-HasComments: Yes Gerrit-Has-Labels: No Comment-In-Reply-To: laforge <[email protected]> Comment-In-Reply-To: pespin <[email protected]>
