TCP MTU probing

From:  John Heffner <jheffner@psc.edu>

Subject:  [RFC] TCP MTU probing
Date:  Tue, 06 Dec 2005 14:42:53 -0500

(aka. Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery)

The patch can be found at:
<http://www.psc.edu/~jheffner/projects/mtup/>>

This is based on work by the IETF pmtud wg to make PMTUD work correctly 
in the absence of correct ICMP delivery.  The currently published 
internet-draft is at:
<http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pmtud-meth...>.
(Disclaimer: I'm also an author on the internet-draft.)

I'd like to get a few people at least to look this over, and maybe give 
it a try.  One remaining item to consider is how best to cache the state 
between connections.  Are there any major concerns or reservations about 
this approach, or the patch itself?

Thanks,
   -John
