The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IPv6 Minimum Path MTU Hop-by-Hop Option' (draft-ietf-6man-mtu-option-15.txt) as Experimental RFC
This document is the product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Kline and Éric Vyncke. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-mtu-option/ Technical Summary This document specifies a new IPv6 Hop-by-Hop option that is used to record the minimum Path MTU along the forward path between a source host to a destination host. The recorded value can then be communicated back to the source using the return Path MTU field in the option. Working Group Summary This document is the product of the 6man working group. It is a part of the ongoing effort of improving path MTU discovery in the Internet. The mechanism described has been implemented as part of an IETF hackathon. It has undergone thorough review by multiple working group participants. It is experimental as described above. Document Quality There are multiple prototype implementations of this mechanism as described in the implementation section of the draft. Directorate reviews have been submitted that contain important considerations.
