Hi Med,

let me try to get my point clear:

You can use Section 3.3.3 of [RFC1122] to motivate that the sender should
not send datagram larger than 576, since there is no guarantee that the
receiver has resources to reassemble and process it. But RFC 1122 makes
no statement about the path. As far as I know there is no safe value for
a PMTU you can derive from a specification.


So maybe:
NEW:
  assume a PMTU of 576 bytes for IPv4 datagrams (see Section 3.3.3 of [RFC1122]
  for support at the receiver).

Best regards
Michael
