UDP applications already need to do that today. Isn't it a great step backwards if an application first has to detect if the peer is directly connected or not, and behave differently depending on the answer? Path MTU is a path property. I'm reluctant to make too much out of a special case where path length is 1. I do agree that we need to do something in ND to allow nodes capable of a higher MTU than the RA advertised default MTU to signal that between each other. > There is another use for this MTU option: it appears that it is sometimes > possible to run both 802.15.4-2012 (the 127 byte version) and 802.15.4g (the > 2K or something byte version) on the same radios. > ("802.15.4-2015" includes 802.15.4g, btw, thus the need for a year to be precise) > > A 15.4g MAC ought to be able to speak to a -2012 MAC by using all of our 6lowpan > mechanisms, but two 15.4g would like to discover that they don't need to > fragment.
