The text in rfc2460bis (unchanged from rfc2460) is: 5. Packet Size Issues IPv6 requires that every link in the internet have an MTU of 1280 octets or greater. On any link that cannot convey a 1280-octet packet in one piece, link-specific fragmentation and reassembly must be provided at a layer below IPv6. Links that have a configurable MTU (for example, PPP links [RFC1661]) must be configured to have an MTU of at least 1280 octets; it is recommended that they be configured with an MTU of 1500 octets or greater, to accommodate possible encapsulations (i.e., tunneling) without incurring IPv6-layer fragmentation. rfc1981bis (and rfc1981) doesn’t use "IPv6 minimum link MTU” as a defined term (otherwise it would be in Section 2. “Terminology”. It’s just words describing the concept in Section 5 of rfc2460bis (as shown above). > Even unlikely at this point in the IPv6 implementation cycle, we don't > want readers to believe that they should look at the minimum of the > device IPv6 MTU link(s). > Proposal: define "IPv6 minimum link MTU" as 1280 octets in 2460bis, or in > both documents. I think rfc1981bis (and rfc1981) are correct about pointing to rfc2460bis (and rfc2460). Having to change it in two places would make it much harder to change it in the future. > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > COMMENT: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > In this document, I see: > > IPv6 nodes SHOULD implement Path MTU Discovery in order to discover > and take advantage of paths with PMTU greater than the IPv6 minimum > link MTU [I-D.ietf-6man-rfc2460bis].
