Title : TCP Fails To Respect IPV6_USE_MINMTU
Author : M. Andrews
Filename : draft-andrews-tcp-and-ipv6-use-minmtu-00.txt
Pages : 4
Date : 2015-10-15
Abstract:
The IPV6_USE_MINMTU socket option is used to set the maximum IPv6
packet size to be used on a socket. Many implementations of TCP
running over IPv6 neglect to check the IPV6_USE_MINMTU value when
performing MSS negotiation and when contructing a TCP segment. This
lead to oversized IPv6 packets being sent resulting in unintended
Path Maximum Transport Unit Discovery (PMTUD) being performed and to
fragmented IPv6 packets being sent.
