Joe,
You have a point that this solution may never be widely deployed. So, I have
cranked the intended status back to EXPERIMENTAL and removed the IANA request.
(We can work with experimental code points.)
We will do the experiment and report on results.

Hi, Ron,
A few things come to mind. The first one, IMO, renders the rest somewhat less
important.
Joe
-
- this approach applies only to IPv4; not sure it’s worth trying to optimize
for only that case
(it requires on-path fragmentation permitted)
- this approach relies on ICMPs, so it’s as robust (or, more to the point, not)
as PMTUD
if ICMPs can find the reverse path from the dest, why wouldn’t the
routers?
i.e., isn’t the problem with ICMPs not just routers not sending them
but firewalls BLOCKING them?
(i.e., if ICMPs would work here, PMTU would have worked, rendering this
unnecessary)
- why does this doc assume the max ICMP is 576?
we’re still talking IPv4 here; it’s still 68 (that’s why only 64 bits
of the orig payload are guaranteed)
(yes, your note in the end of sec 1 is relevant, but given v4-in-v4
tunneling, it’s possible that paths might be smaller than the 576 assumption)
- why would this approach find the largest fragment through a system?
rfc1812 talks about various strategies, one of which is “equal sized”,
which might never find the max the way you propose
