Disable ipv4 fragmentation

2007-04-24 Thread J HU

Dear experts,

I'm working with sockets in a debian with a version of kernel 2.6.x, and I'd 
like to disable the fragmentation of the ipv4 introduce.
I have read that there was the option of modified the file 
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always_defrag but it doesn't exist.
So I'm totally lost and I need to disable that fragmentation or change the 
size to the maximum of 65535.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance!

What do you expect the system to do with oversized packets instead of
fragmenting them?  Discard them?

Fragmentation is used any time a given packet is too large to fit inside a
single frame of the underlying transport, as determined by the network
interface's MTU.
