A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the TCP/UDP Over CLNP-Addressed 
Networks Working Group of the IETF.                                        

       Title     : CLNP Path MTU Discovery                                 
       Author(s) : D. Piscitello
       Filename  : draft-ietf-tuba-mtu-00.txt
       Pages     : 18

This memo describes a technique for dynamically discovering the maximum 
transmission unit (MTU) of an arbitrary CLNP path. The mechanism described 
here is applicable to both "pure-stack" OSI as well as TUBA/CLNP [6] 
environments, i.e., environments where Internet transport protocols (UDP 
and TCP) are operated over CLNP. The memo specifies a small change to the 
way routers generate one type of CLNP Error Report. For a path that passes 
through a router that has not been changed, this technique might not 
discover the correct Path MTU, but it will always choose a Path MTU as 
accurate as, and in many cases more accurate than, the Path MTU that would 
be chosen by current practice.
