Folks,

BTW, I think it was not clear in the PMTUD meeting the status of the PMTUD 
improvement described in draft-gont-tcpm-icmp-attacks-05.txt .

Currently, both OpenBSD and NetBSD ship with the improvement "on" by default.

There are forthcoming implementations for FreeBSD and Linux.

The OpenBSD and NetBSD implementations had been tested extensively, and 
allow you to use ICMP, while mitigating ICMP-based attacks.

I think PLPMTUD would benefit from the mechanism proposed in 
draft-gont-tcpm-icmp-attacks-05.txt

Kindest regards,
