Hi,

I am trying to rewrite a PCAP file that has some large packets in it, in
order to replay the traffic over a network with MTU of 1500. I do not want
to skip or truncate the oversized packets, so I would like to use the
--fragroute option to fragment the packets.
I have compiled the tcpreplay 4.0.4 (and also tried 3.4.4) package, so that
fragroute is enabled. However, when running tcprewrite I get an error
message (see below) about an oversized packet and the tool exits. 2991 in
the error message is actually the size of the packet (#110) in question. I
tested that the fragroute option indeed works with PCAPs where packets do
not exceed 1500 bytes.

I am wondering if this is the intended functionality of fragroute and it
actually is not able to handle packets larger than 1500 bytes? Or maybe you
can suggest some other method how could I fix the PCAP with such oversized
packets?

# tcprewrite --infile=test.pcap --outfile=test-fixMTU.pcap
--fragroute=frag.cfg
Fatal Error: Error processing packet via fragroute: skipping oversized
packet: 2991

# cat frag.cfg 
ip_frag 1400

# tcprewrite -V

I have temporarily uploaded the PCAP file in question to the following URL:

I look forward to your reply. I hope you can help me in this matter.

Best regards,
