Stewart,

Yes, but sending at 1280 does not work for IP tunnels. The whole purpose of the minimum MTU was to give space for tunnel headers (1500-1280).

Please show the data that there is significant loss. The measurements I have found has not shown that.
If not, then let's please leave that argument on the shelf.

(And please don't read me wrong, I think we should get DNS fixed, that we should fix the IP tunnelling protocols, and that we should get IP fragmentation deprecated).

But right here, right now. PMTUD is for many problems the only solution on the table.
We as a community can choose not to elevate the standard of course, and that will of course not have any big consequence.
Are you afraid that elevating 1981, will hinder people from working on new and better solutions?

Best regards,
Ole
