ip_ire_pathmtu_interval: the "_ire_" component of the name is not user friendly. And again, why would this need to be tuned?

Also forgot to mention, this is a RFC 1191 requirement:

"Note: an implementation should provide a means for changing the timeout duration, including setting it to "infinity". For example, hosts attached to an FDDI network which is then attached to the rest of the Internet via a slow serial line are never going to discover a new non-local PMTU, so they should not have to put up with dropped datagrams every 10 minutes."

Okay, this makes sense.   It should have a more user-friendly name, though.
