Re: Disable ipv4 fragmentation

You can set the DF (don't fragment) bit in various ways, but the result is that routers which need to fragment will instead drop your packets. IP guarantees that small enough packets can be transmitted without fragmentation, but that limit is a part of the protocol and not something you can configure. What is the problem you are trying to solve?
