Jeff,

My name is Nuggehalli Pradeep and I am working on an experimental
implementation of the MTU Discovery approach here at 
NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, California, 
under the supervision of John Lekashman.

For the local implementation here, we plan to use SUN workstations,
running under SunOS 4.0, as end-hosts, and SUN workstations, with 
Gate-D software installed, as gateways, on ethernet segments, with 
different MTUs being specified.

I would like to be added to the "mtudwg" mailing list, and would 
highly appreciate receiving any information on this topic and the
minutes/decisions (as appropriate) of the MTU Discovery Working Group.

By the way, in the MTU RFC (RFC 1063 dated July 1988), on page 10, 
if I am not mistaken, there is a logic error:
the conditions (less than/greater than) in cases (2) and (3) 
seem to be reversed; they should read:

      (2) The Reply MTU option value is greater than the
          current MINMTU and the LastDecreased field plus
          IncreaseInterval is greater than the current time: set the
                              ------------
          ProbeRetry field to LastDecreased plus IncreaseInterval,
          but do not change MINMTU.

      (3) The Reply MTU option value is greater than the
          current MINMTU and the LastDecreased field plus
          IncreaseInterval is less than or equal to the current time: set
                              ---------------------
          the MINMTU field to the new value.

Thank you
