This is not a problem in itself if you have a homogonous ISP network (but the fact that you need to enable the larger size by hand is even there) but that requirement makes it extremely hard to deploy larger packet sizes in many other environments. >> But for the purposes of a jack up solution we just need a few >> dozen extra bytes to accommodate the new headers without >> triggering the breakage that ensues when 1500-byte packets can't >> be forwarded without fragmentation. > If you believe the above, why have you been wasting everyone's time > just now ? Does anyone believe anything else?? I guess I should read the latest LISP draft as apparently there specific a jumboframe size is mentioned, and I have no idea for what purpose. _______________________________________________ RAM mailing list RAM@iab.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ram
