Hello,
I'm now considering UDP applications that are sensitive to path MTU
(toward the destinations). I recalled a discussion about a new socket
option "IPV6_USEMTU", which allowed an application to specify an
appropriate path MTU for packets sent from the application. I checked
the archive of this list in April 2000, and, to my suprise, the
discussion suddenly disappeared without any consensus.
I think it is a good idea, and even essential for such UDP
applications. What was wrong with the option? Or can we raise the
option again as a clarification for rfc2292bis?
Thanks,
